Bash: call script with customized keyboard shortcuts?

Question

Lets say I have a script, \"myscript.sh\", with contents being simply echo $PWD. I\'d like to bind somehow this script to a key combo in bash

Answer 1

Ok, not really an answer, but I'd just like to summarize the comments I got so far, which are useful for my problem. However, the question as it stands - in respect to bash keyboard shortcuts running arbitrary scripts - is still not answered (I'd still prefer doing all this with a single key combo :))

 
First, I can use a 'global' script like:

$ sudo bash -c 'cat > /usr/bin/bpwd </dev/null               # debug: redir stdout to null
echo -n \$basepwd | xsel -i -b    # suppress LF, and make xsel read from stdin 
# exec 1>/dev/tty                # debug: restore stdout
EOF
chmod +x /usr/bin/bpwd'

Or, I can add bash functions to my .bashrc (note: make sure you reload bash after you add these lines to .bashrc - for example, simply by typing bash in your current terminal):

$ echo '
bpwd2() { basepwd=${PWD##*/} ; echo -n $basepwd | xsel -i -b ; echo -n $basepwd ; }
svnci-test() { echo -n "$(bpwd2): $*" ; }
svnci-m() { svn ci -m "$(bpwd2): $*" ; }' >> ~/.bashrc

 
Basically, I misunderstood Reese Moore's suggestion originally - you can indeed use backticks - consider this command session (after the above commands have been ran):

$ bpwd
Desktop\
$ bpwd2
Desktop\
$ echo `bpwd`
Desktop
$ echo "`bpwd2` 2"
Desktop 2

This is what I needed to understand Moore's "the output from the backticked commands will be used as input on the executed command" (however, one also needs to take care to clean the line endings from the output); or, in my case, I can call

svn ci -m "`bpwd`: my message here"
# svn ci -m "${PWD##*/}: my message here" # alternatively

... or, I could follow camh's suggestion, and use svnci-m as a function (in my case, I almost never use additional arguments to svn ci, and so my version is slightly different). And to test whether arguments are passed correctly, I can use the svnci-test function:

$ svnci-test "my message"
Desktop: my message\

 
Thanks for the comments so far,
Cheers!
