Simple and minimal GTK+Cairo application launcher written in Python.
For example, you want to open a terminal, so you...
Super-space
,term
,Enter
& voilĂ
Menuless, mouseless, iconless.
- launches programs
- config files to customize aliases and colors ;D
- before you ask yes, it is inspired on long defunct Enso Launcher
- before you complain yes, it is way simpler than Enso Launcher
- Linux (I think);
- Python (I'm sure);
- Googling powers.
-
git clone this repo to a path (here it is in
~/bin/sting
, or you may prefer/opt/sting
, or any other path meets your taste); -
mkdir -p ~/.config/sting
-
cp your/sting/path/aliases ~/.config/sting/
-
cp your/sting/path/colors ~/.config/sting
-
edit both files to your taste
-
you can test it running
python your/sting/path/sting.py
on a terminal -
bind a keystroke to sting acording to your system
-
sting's lightness and freshness is ready for your finger tips
Keybind hint for crunchbang users:
- open
~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
- find the line with
<keybind key="W-space">
- change this tag's command to
python your/sting/path/sting.py
- when the 'type it' screen apears, start typing the name of the
alias you want to run; when the autocompletion shows what you expect
press
Enter
; - press
Backspace
to remove the last entered character; - press
Escape
to clear what you typed, and again to close the window; - that's it.
Use it as you wish, do not blame me.
