Run for Linux

Overview

Run for Linux brings the familiar Windows 10 "Run" dialog (Ctrl+R) to Linux! This lightweight utility lets you quickly launch applications, open files, or execute commands directly from a simple, keyboard-friendly interface. Designed for Linux users who miss the snappy Windows Run experience or want a fast way to interact with their system.

Features

Quick Launch: Open apps, files, or directories with a single command. ~~- Keyboard-Driven: Trigger the dialog with Ctrl+R, just like Windows.~~
Lightweight: Minimal resource usage, perfect for any Linux distro.
Customizable: Configure shortcuts or extend functionality to suit your workflow.

Usage

```
python3 run.py
```
Press Ctrl+R to open the Run dialog.
Type a command, app name, or file path (e.g., firefox, ~/Documents, or ls -la).
Hit Enter to execute!
