On Linux Mint, I would like to bind a shortcut key to run a command*.
I can achieve this using the GUI, but I need a way to add this keyboard shortcut from the command-line, without GUI interaction**.
Further explanation:
* The command it will run is shutter -s. It lets me take a screenshot of an area of the screen, but that isn't relevant to the scope of this question.
** I run Mint on many machines/VMs, and need to be able to provision new ones quickly. To achieve this, I've scripted the installation of everything I need to do dev work.

I assume your shell is bash: do you use vi-mode or emacs-mode? You'll want to read about bash'sbindcommand under Builtin commands, particularly the-xoption
