# Program by Fares Al Ghazy started 20/5/2017
# Python script to assign key combinations to bash commands, should run in the background at startup
# Since this program is meant to release bash code, it is obviously non-system agnostic and only works linux systems that use BASH
# This is one file which only creates the GUI, another file is needed to use the info taken by this program
