ZLauncher - a customisable menu like launcher

ZLauncher - a customisable menu like launcher

Description

   ZLauncher is a menu like launcher, to edit configuration files and launch applications and custom commands.

   I wanted to replace the default openbox menu with a nice looking 2-D menu,
   allowing easy icon selection, text and command editing.

   For example: I use it to start & edit application, project, configuration files.

Features

    * Fast (written in vala)
    * Lightweight (depends only on gtk3)
    * Customisable (every color can be changed)

Installation

   AUR Package, git version:
   https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zlauncher-git

Homepage

Hya

really like the idea. What i would love is actually keyboard only operation (IE no mouse). Would be great to assign it to a hotkey and then go hotkey>'a' to launch program that starts with 'a' or something like that (maybe hotkey>start typing first letter of entry and then ENTER)

great stuff

Re: ZLauncher - a customisable menu like launcher

1. Right now:
   It is already possible to use keyboard navigation only.
   Where is a little info icon at the down, right corner that listens all keyboard shortcuts (or alternatively you can look at the screenshot section on the github page)

2. Your proposal:
   bash like auto completion - is something that gnome do / gmrun / kupfer / or other applications like that already do

3. I agree that it could be useful to define own shortcuts for each entry
   I have created a feature request for custom shortcuts,
   care to vote with a "+1" comment post ?
