I can create a shortcut in Chrome with More tools > Create shortcut. For Windows the documentation suggests that this will create some kind of file on the Desktop which users can click to open the shortcut. On Linux, not running a desktop environment, I see no such files. Yet, I would really like to have a script which I could run to open my shortcut. How can I do this?

I tried looking in XDG_CONFIG_HOME/chromium but couldn't find anything promising. Is there something I'm missing?

  • I figured out that I needed to be looking for a file ending in .desktop. Then I searched my home folder for new .desktop files. I did find one with a cryptic name including the prefixed string chrome. Opening it up in a text editor I found the title matched my shortcut and there was a shell command for starting up my shortcut. Commented May 30, 2022 at 14:21
