short-keys for pasting different texts

[Olafur Arason]

Install xsel ( sudo apt-get install xsel )
run gedit script1.sh
add to it:
echo "Text" | xsel -i -b

or if you have a textfile
xsel -i -b < /home/user/textfile

run gconf-editor
go to apps -> metacirty -> keyboard_commands
and add the location to your script like /home/user/script1.sh
to command_1 and so on
then in apps -> metacity -> global_keybindings
and add your keybinding to run_command_1 and so on

Then try it, it will load the text to the clipboard then you can just paste
