Oh, that attempt... Sorry to leave you in suspense; it was an utter flop. What's there is the best you're gonna get by this approach. Did you try it?

Personally, if I wanted this kinda thing, I'd be inclined to use Personal menu for regular menu stuff, and stack command-navigator full of typing shortcuts like this:
Description: Foo
Command: xte 'str Foo'

I'd be happy to do this out of Personal Menu. By "command-navigator" do you just mean the part of Personal Menu where you add "Name of the menu entry:" and "Command to execute:" -- or do I need something in addition to PM, like the old Command Navigator?

In PM, I entered

Code:

Hello

in "Name of the menu entry:" and

Code:

xte 'str Hello'

in "Command to execute:"

From Run As Root, nothing happens. From Run In Terminal, I get

Code:

sh: xte: not found

With neither checked, I get a notice Execution Failed.

I don't know what xte is, but I don't see it in installed or installable applications, nor in gronmayer repositories.

So, if you'd be so kind, I could use some education. Thanks!
