Liftoff
A minimal lightweight application launcher for Linux
The goal of this project is to create a convenient and desktop-independent app-launcher for my Arch Linux system (with Openbox) while also teaching myself C++. This launcher should be compatible with Freedesktop-compliant operating systems, but it only gets tested on Arch Linux.
Features
- App suggestions that are continuously refined as you type
- Fully keyboard-oriented UI
- Extremely minimal interface - exactly zero (0) buttons, very little eye-candy
- Ability to execute any command by prefixing it with "!"
- Memory of most commonly used applications to provide better suggestions
Future Features
- Tab completion for arbitrary commands
Note to anyone who used this while it was named quicklaunch
Move the directory .local/share/quicklaunch to .local/share/liftoff to avoid losing history. Also delete the old executable.
