Getting nautilus to recognize a key press using the python-nautilus extension

[José Alburquerque <jaalburquerque gmail com>]

Hi.  I'm not subscribed to this list so I'd appreciate to be CC'd on a 
reply so that I can receive it.  I have nautilus 3.18.5 running on an 
ubuntu 16.04.2 updated system.  The reason I'm writing is to ask a 
question about the python-nautilus extension of nautilus.  I'm trying to 
get nautilus to recognize a key combination on the keyboard to then have 
it run a script on the currently selected file(s)/folder(s).  To ensure 
that this is possible, I searched on the web and found a site[1] that 
describes that this is possible, so I decided to use the script that it 
mentions was re-written for nautilus 3[2] and modify it just to test if 
nautilus at least recognizes the key press by opening a gnome-terminal 
if it does.  Below is the brief modified code.  Can anyone explain why 
the key press is not recognized for me?  All I want is to get nautilus 
to recognize a key press and then run a script on the currently selected 
files.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
