Liz-shortcut-helper: remember and autorun shortcuts

Hi guys,

I'm new in Arch and here to ask for feedback about the assistant tool I wrote to help me remember and auto execute shortcuts. The tool is written in Rust and extremely fast.

See more details in the github repo

The tool support:

- Show shortcuts with great filtering function based on Rofi.

- Automatically execute the selected shortcut using ydotool.

- Customize the shortcuts and add whatever shortcut or command you want.

Welcome to have a try, leave comments and suggestions, contribute if you would like, whatever.

Highly recommend if you like me is a person who can not remember tons of shortcuts and do not want to check google again and again.

Re: Liz-shortcut-helper: remember and autorun shortcuts

Some chat:

Although I've used Linux for years, it is too hard for me to remember all those shortcuts, especially those i might use once or twice per year. These days I'm thinking about switching to Neovim for coding, but that is too hard for me to remember all the commands and shortcuts. I tried to find a tool that can help to remember and categorize (and maybe automatically run) diverse shortcuts for me, like Zsh shortcuts, Neovim shortcuts, Kwin shortcuts, etc, but failed ?. If you know such a tool, please leave your comment and let me know. I'm really surprised, maybe all the Linux users especially those hyprland users for example, can remember those diverse shortcuts? I hope I'm not alone

That is too annoying to remember so many shortcuts. Therefore, I decided to write such a tool by myself. At first I wrote a Python script but found it consumes over 200 MB of memory because of the Python interpreter. It worked, but not cool at all. Therefore I turned to Rust.

I'm not so familiar with Rust, and this is a great chance for me to learn as well. Finally I made it and it works very well at least on my Arch. Feel free to give me any feedback.
