Create shortcut in Ubuntu

在Linux下创建快捷方式的小技巧。当然现在19.04版本之后,我们可以更简单的通过右击目标文件,点击创建连接就可以创建一个新的快捷方式了。

Method 1: Copy one

Open /usr/share/applications. Look for the program you want to create the shortcut.

Copy it.

Method 2: Create .desktop file

1
sudo vim  /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

And then input:

[Desktop Entry] 
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE
Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse # Where your program is
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Development;

And then we can copy
