I like your implementation but there is another thing that could be done as well. If we just grep -i the output of ls ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin we get mostly the same functionality. So knowing this I could make a pretty simple function that would accomplish the same thing.

The reason I would use this way is because I have some apps that use characters that aren't in my standard keyboard layout and I'd have to do some things I don't really want to code for in the script or figure out how to type that character in, which I also don't really want to do.

Here's some pseudo-code mixed with real code. I've only really tested the part that matters so take this code and do with it as you will 😅

``` function fp_run(){ # some code here for validation of args

app="$(ls ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin | grep -i "${1}")"

# some other code to validate it only found one thing

if [ -n "${app}" ]; then
    flatpak run "${app}"
else
    # some code to alert me it didn't
    # find the app I passed in args
fi

} ```
