qsrun is a launcher. It contains user defined entries for applications and also searches
|
2018-08-12 17:15:16 +02:00
|
|
|
system-applications. Using libcalculate, it can also be used as a calculator.

If you run a desktop environment like KDE it is questionable whether you will
|
|
|
|
|
find this useful, since they usually bring applications that are more or less
|
2019-08-23 23:58:43 +02:00
|
|
|
comparable to qsrun, although much more
|
2018-01-03 09:52:05 +01:00
|
|
|
powerful (like KRunner). It can be useful for users running a window manager like
|
|
|
|
|
fluxbox etc.

Getting started
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
2019-08-24 09:48:30 +02:00
|
|
|
$HOME/.config/qsrun
|
2018-01-03 09:52:05 +01:00
|
|
|
In this folder user-defined entries should be put (See "Entry format").
|

Config format

|
|
|
------------
|
2019-08-24 09:48:30 +02:00
|
|
|
Path: $HOME/.config/qsrun/qsrun.config

2018-01-03 09:52:05 +01:00
|
|
|
```

|
|
|
|
[General]
|
2019-08-24 09:48:30 +02:00
|
|
|
sysAppsPaths = "/usr/share/applications/", "/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/"
|
2018-01-03 09:52:05 +01:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-08-24 09:48:30 +02:00
|
|
|
sysAppsPaths will default to "/usr/share/applications/" if no value
|
|
|
|
|
is given.

Entry format
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
It rudimentary supports .desktop files, but for user entries, the own format
|
|
|
|
|
should be preferred.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's a simple format: [key] [value].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example: quasselclient.qsrun:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
command quasselclient
|
|
|
|
|
name Quassel
|
|
|
|
|
icon /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/quassel.png
|
|
|
|
|
row 1
|
|
|
|
|
col 0
|
|
|
|
|
key I
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"key" means a shortcut key, you can launch those by pressing Ctrl + "key", so in
|
|
|
|
|
the example above: CTRL + I.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simply pressing Ctrl will show you the associated shortcuts on each individual
|
|
|
|
|
button.

|
|
|
Starting to type will search user defined entries first, followed by system
|
|
|
|
|
entries. Then the PATH variable will be searched, if there is a single match you can also
|
|
|
|
|
press TAB for auto completion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In general it will launch anything once you press enter, however it won't open a
|
|
|
|
|
terminal.
