qsrun

qsrun is a launcher. It contains user defined entries for applications and also searches 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 comparable to qsrun, although much more powerful (like KRunner). It can be useful for users running a window manager like fluxbox etc.

Dependencies

Qt >=5.7.

For the calculation engine, libqalculate is needed.

Currently no conditional compile flags are supported...

Building

qmake make

Getting started

Currently it may not be considered a classical GUI application because the
configuration must be done outside of it.

mkdir $HOME/.config/qsrun In this folder user-defined entries should be put (See "Entry format").

Config format

Path: $HOME/.config/qsrun/qsrunner.config

[General]
sysAppsPaths="/usr/share/applications/" TODO: multiple dir example

systemApplicationsPath will default to "/usr/share/applications/", therefore specifying it explicitly is not necessary.

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.

General usage

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.

Calculator

Start by typing "=", followed by your expression, e. g: "=(2+3)^2"
