Trying to use krunner in place of the application menu button
I've grown used to using Alfred to launch/search on my MacBook to the extent that I only use my dock to switch to running apps if I use it at all. I'm trying to replicate that experience in Bazzite.
Toward that end, I have:
- manually edited the both to invoke some transparency and blur within its bounds, but also [got that working] to dim out the rest of the screen and make it more visible amidst other windows.
Thoughts?
META shortcut to invoke krunner
- resized krunner's fonts to 20pt
A few snags remain which I could use some help on:
- There does not seem to be a way to get to application shortcut definitions except via the application menu. This becomes relevant when there are apps that aren't flatpaks (eg, Mathematica). This might be mitigated if I knew how to construct a flatpack out of, say, a distrobox install + export, or the like. (If there is, maybe that's a good idea for a ujust script?)
- The META shortcut sometimes fails to respond. After a few seconds of repeated taps, it does eventually return but this obviously isn't the intended behavior. I don't recall this problem with this application menu. (This also seems a great idea for a ujust script.)
- I'd like to find a way to scrim the background of krunner -- 0 Replies
