Application launcher for Linux

This scans for XDG desktop files and opens up a searchable list to launch the desired program.

Wayland is supported. X11 should work too, though this has not been tested.

Usage

When the GUI has focus, the following controls are available:

• Enter: Launch selected app.
• Esc (twice): Exit launcher.
• Up: Select previous suggestion.
• Down: Select next suggestion.

Configuration

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lap/settings.toml is the configuration file. Available settings are described below with example values.

# Font to use
# Default: None
font-family = "Source Sans 3"

# Whether the window should be resizable.
# Setting this to false may make the window float if using a tiling window manager.
# Default: false
resizable-window = false

# Name of the icon theme to use for app icons
# Default: None
icon-theme = "Papirus-Dark"
