How do I create a shortcut to Gnome 3 Activities menu? [duplicate]

I created ~/.local/share/applications/bt.desktop file containing entry

[Desktop Entry]
Name=btsync
Exec==~/Progs/btsync
Icon=un-reboot.png
Type=Application
Terminal=true;

Command ~/Progs/btsync works and btsync runs. How do I add this to Activities menu to be just clicked?

This is the correct entry with correct syntax:

[Desktop Entry] Name=btsync Exec=/home/ohto/Progs/btsync Icon=un-reboot.png Type=Application Terminal=true

You should create the relevant desktop entry in ~/.local/share/applications. Your entry already contains necessary information, although I also recommend you to add an icon.
