Sure. Create a windows shortcut to bash.exe, open the properties. In
"Target", after C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe, add
--login -i -c "<your command here in bash syntax>"
and you can then assign a key-combination to the shortcut (as for any other
windows shortcut) by clicking in "Shortcut key" and typing your
ctrl-shift-alt-whatever combination.
The "your command here part" can be any valid shell commands, or you can
just pass in the path to a script you want run. (Remember to either chmod +x
the script first, or to use the 'source' bash builtin to execute it).
You'll probably want to change the "Start in" dir to your homedir or /tmp or
somewhere similar, depending on your needs.
cheers,
