gotcha: keyboard shortcut for vim

Setting a keyboard shortcut for launching apps on linux mint 2 ways.

- vim .xbindkeyrc

- start>settings>keyboard>application shortcuts

was wondering why just having path to vim wasn't working

it needs to be run as a terminal command.

THE FIX: >>

xfce4-terminal -e 'vim'

whats the -e flag?

 it specifies that its to be run as a terminal command.
