On Ubuntu 11.10, using GNOME Shell, I find myself using the "Looking Glass" JavaScript Console very much. I know how to assign desktop shortcuts in general; but, this seems a little unusual.
Instead of typing Alt+F2lgEnter, I'd like to assign a shortcut key to perform this. However, shortcuts normally require a command file and there's the rub. I am unaware of a command file for the looking glass tool.
How can I set a keyboard shortcut to perform the Alt+F2lgEnter keystrokes?
Clarification: Instead of pressing a 4-key sequence, I want to use a 1-key shortcut to invoke lg.

You can use this GNOME extension to assign a keyboard shortcut to activate looking-glass.
By default, it uses Super+ X to activate looking-glass but you can configure that keyboard shortcut.
Alternatively, you can use the command to activate looking-glass and bind it to a specific keyboard shortcut.
