Nemo add keyboard shortcuts

Add keyboard shortcuts to nemo

for Nemo 2.2.4 under Linux Mint 17 do this:

  • Go to: /home/yourusername/.gnome2/accels --- NOTE: .gnome2 is a hidden folder!
  • Open the "nemo" file with your text editor
  • Add your shortcut: for example, when having 2 panes to move a folder or file from one pane to the other using "CTRL+j":

(gtk_accel_path "/DirViewActions/Move to next pane" "j")

Note: remove the ";" at the beginning of the line
  • Restart the GTK system: sudo killall -u yourusername
  • Open Nemo, to test my example: press "F3" choose different folders on each pane, select one folder or file from one pane and press "Ctrl+j", that folder or file should move from one pane to the other one.

There are a lot of different commands to customize in that file, be careful not to use a current shortcut!
