sting-launcher

Simple and minimal GTK+Cairo application launcher written in Python.

For example, you want to open a terminal, so you...

Super-space, term, Enter & voilà

Menuless, mouseless, iconless.

features

  • 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

ingredients

  • Linux (I think);
  • Python (I'm sure);
  • Googling powers.

installation

  • 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

instructions

  • 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.

license

Use it as you wish, do not blame me.
