App launcher revised
I’ve been searching many times on the web to find “A good pearl”, I’m not a huge fan of Rofi you know and I really need to replace wmenu, which I find too simplistic.
Otter-launcher was the response. If you look the project, otter-launcher can run many things other than app:
-
Run command to translate text, example on https://lingva.ml
-
Search directly for content on Youtube, Invidious, and other, you can also use ytdl to download link’s.
-
The same for Google, Duckduckgo, AUR, etc…
-
Search for any file/directory and open it with Thunar/Yazi.
-
Find and edit a file with Neovim.
-
Search information for any IP address.
There are a lot of options here…
New file manager
This theme introduce the blazing fast Yazi in order to replace NNN. Coupled with Thunar, you don’t need more.
Fonts with slab
Add Iosevka with slab in terminal. Visually it change a lot. The UI use the Void and Skull as brand font also used on this site.
