I believe that if you just create a shell script file that starts with
#!/bin/bash
ensure it has the execute privileges and then associated that with a keyboard
commander that the terminal will launch and execute the command.
Will the command you are thinking of produce output? Depending on that output
and possibly what you want to do with that output might provide the best
suggestion of completing your task. You can also create automations that could
have files "dragged" onto them and have those files act as input to the
automation. I haven't actually investigated creating droplets like this.
The talking status messages that Alex Hall has provided to this group all
include wrapping one or more shell commands around a handler that then uses the
VoiceOver Applesccript command "output" to speak the information requested.
You can reach me off list if you want some help getting everything working.
Scripting screen readers is a hobby for me these days, since I no longer
professionally write JAWS scripts.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
