Unfortunately, no, I probably wouldn't be able to do that at a GoLUG
meeting. I don't live within easy driving distance of GoLUG: I'm in the
greater Tampa Bay area. It'd be a major undertaking for me to attend a
GoLUG meeting. If I was to attend, however, I'd be happy to do so.
Heh.
I haven't actually directly custom-associated keystrokes with bash
commands, ever, so it's not something I know how to do off the top of my
head. It's also not something that immediately strikes me as useful,
though that's probably a failure of imagination on my part. I'm sure
there's a simple enough way to set something like that up, though I'm
not currently familiar with it, in any case.
I actually use a menu-updating and management utility called,
conveniently enough, "menu" on my system. It seems to provide some
similarity of functionality with that of umenu, to judge by what I've
seen on the troubleshooters.com website, at least as used with
WindowMaker and GNUstep on Debian. It may be that umenu would be
superfluous with this setup. I'm not sure. I may take a whack at umenu
at some point to get some basis for comparison.
