    Anyhow, I do prefer the Ulauncher over using the native GNOME launcher (probably has a different name like application menu, I mean the thing that opens once one clicks the super key). Source: 12 months ago
  • Down the Rabbit Hole of Linux Terminal Emulators
    This problem is not unique to Tilix. I use the excellent Ulauncher tool. On X.org, Ulauncher opens on the monitor where the cursor is. On Wayland, it picks the monitor seemingly at random. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

  • how to launch ulauncher on startup, possibly not with runit?
    I currently am running Void with i3 and the default dmenu. I wanted to try out ulauncher app launcher. To get it to work, I launch using dmenu or type ulauncher in the CLI, then I hit escape to close it but it still stays in the system tray so that I can call it anytime (going forward) with $mod-Space.

    Throw ulauncher into the mess, bound to ALT+F2, and removed the start bar menu. Source: about 2 years ago
  • How do I make Ubuntu search for a file using part of the file's contents?
    There are a few launcher options out there for Linux. One new one I've come across recently is Ulauncher. Seems like it's pretty close to Spotlight's functionality, so I'd see if you can set it to Super+Space for that Mac-like feel. Source: about 2 years ago
