Shortcut is an desktop app made using Rust, GTK4 and Libadawaita that can easily create .desktop files. It is specifically designed to visually integrate with the GNOME desktop environment.

Requirements

• Minimum Rust version > 1.70 - check it by running: rustc -V
• Minimum GTK version > 4.10 - check it by running pkg-config --modversion gtk4
• Minimium Libadwaita version > 1.3 - check it by running pkg-config --modversion libadwaita-1

The roadmap for adding features includes:

• Expert mode - create .desktop files following the full Freedesktop specification
• Editing existing .desktop files
• Integrate with a translation API to automatically generate localized values for keys
