Since there wasn't a straight forward way to have a keyboard shortcut map to a shell command, this small plugin lets you store up to 3 commands that you can create a custom keyboard shortcut for.

Link to Plugin

After installing the plugin, there will be a kwick titled drop down menu added in the main menu which looks like this.

The Edit Kwick Commands option will popup a dialog box that looks like this.

Add whatever commands you want to into the text fields and the OK button will save the commands.

Kwick Actions only provides this storing of a terminal command to an action. To create a shortcut of these commands, open

Preferences -> Keymap

and search for kwick, something like this should popup.

Here you can create a keyboard shortcut to the command you've run.

Due to the exec command only running a single command each time, multiple shell commands are not yet supported, however writing them into a shell script and executing the script itself will work instead.

Code from script named git_sub_update.sh that updates the git submodules in a specific repo

#!/usr/bin/env bash

cd /Users/p/IdeaProjects/deletable
git submodule update --recursive --remote

And then in the kwick dialog box

Finally, the shortcut mapped for this command

Now, on G , ⌘ + S, the command is run and a popup on the bottom of the screen shows the command is run.
