shortcut program is to manage the shortcuts (list, add, edit and remove).

shortcut-monitor program monitor the keyboard to detect the keys combination from 2 up to 8 keys at once (8 keys combination is the maximum on my machine but you can change it within both programs source code and recompile) and execute the associated task.

Enviroment: Linux

Compile and link:

    gcc -o shortcut shortcut.c

    gcc -o shortcut-monitor shortcut-monitor.c

Usage:

    sudo ./shortcut

    sudo ./shortcut-monitor

Important

Both programs (shortcut and shortcut-monitor) must run with sudo privileges to work.

Note

Although the shortcut-monitor program run with sudo privileges, it does run the task associated with the shortcut as normal user.
