What menu/launcher do you guys use? And what else do you use it for?

I use fuzzel as a launcher. I also use it for the following:

  • manage bookmarks
  • manage session (poweroff, suspend, logout, etc)
  • manage clipboard
  • manage monitors (displays)
  • search online (search engine, Arch packages, AUR, Wikipedia).
  • emoji picker

These are in my dotfiles if anyone is interested.

I'm asking purely out of curiosity and maybe the urge to steal dotfiles.

I use fsel: https://github.com/Mjoyufull/fsel

Also, with fsel I use otter-launcher: https://github.com/kuokuo123/otter-launcher

Interesting, I've never heard of these before and they seem very promising. I just tried fsel and it does everything I would want, only issue is that it seems to not check the $TERMINAL environment variable. The otter-launcher would seems to be even more promising for my use case.

Thanks :)

I use Walker: https://github.com/abenz1267/walker

Still early days but it has a LOT of features while still being really fast.

Thanks, I've heard of it before and I did not know about elephant which seems to be a nice idea to unify the the data one can pass to to it. Definitely will give it a go.
