Creating Desktop or terminal comands shortcuts to open a program

Question

I recently installed Tor browser and in the site below the installation steps it says to move to the downloaded folder via terminal and then type ./ start-tor-browser to start tor, and it works. If I click the start-tor-browser file a text editor with code pops up..

How can I make a desktop shortcut or,if I can't, a shortcut for the commands to just type Tor(for example) in terminal instead of the two or three required commands every time I want to run tor?

Install applet:

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel

Open it:

gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop

enter image description here

Then the Create Launcher dialog box displays
