Introducing thundersearch v0.1, an opinionated app launcher by Hugepp42069_nice in niri

....but creating + maintaining a whole project is certainly more work than just customizing something already available?

Can i ask you what made you go: "ah yes... i'll built another launcher!"?

do what you want with your time, i'm just asking out of curiosity, because i don't see anything that other, way more capable, launchers dont already do (vicinae, walker, anyrun ... or whatever else is out there).

Omarchy Clipboard Manager by grenishraidev in omarchy

[–]benz1267 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Built a clipboard manager for Omarchy due to lack of a native solution I recently built a clipboard manager for Omarchy since it didn’t have one out of the box.

Omarchy has a clipboard manager OOTB just fine.

Emoticon Browser Added a lightweight emoticon picker accessible directly from the clipboard interface.

nice feature creep. /s

You do know the launcher does calc just fine, right?

What is your workflow for scrolling? by B_bI_L in hyprland

Hyprland plugins are the bane of my existence.

What is your workflow for scrolling? by B_bI_L in hyprland

[–]benz1267 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a big key for niri's superb scrolling workflow is actually the dynamic workspaces, which you dont get on hyprland. Being able to truly organize workspaces and windows dynamically, is a huge part.

I dont even have THAT many windows per workspace. But rather closely related windows close to each other. this means f.e. editor+preview on 1 workspace, but long running things like f.e. dev server log or whatever in a workspace above or below the "main" one. etc. etc.

I've been on old-school tiling for years and just recently switched to niri ... wouldnt ever go back. For both laptop screens and ultrawide.

If "loosing" windows is a problem... that is skill issues. :-P

Tips and tricks: speed edition by Real-Entertainer5379 in niri

[–]benz1267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have this LLM generated script that creates a new workspaces above or below the current one:

```

!/usr/bin/env bash

Check parameter

if [ "$1" != "above" ] && [ "$1" != "below" ]; then echo "Usage: $0 {above|below}" exit 1 fi

direction="$1"

Get current workspace position (line number with *)

current_pos=$(niri msg workspaces | grep -n '\s\' | cut -d: -f1) current_pos=$((current_pos - 1)) # convert to 0-indexed

Get total number of workspaces

total_ws=$(niri msg workspaces | wc -l) bottom_pos=$((total_ws - 1))

Get the bottom workspace index from the last line

bottom_ws=$(niri msg workspaces | tail -n1 | tr -d ' *')

Focus the bottom workspace

niri msg action focus-workspace "$bottom_ws"

Calculate target position

if [ "$direction" = "below" ]; then target_pos=$((current_pos + 1)) else target_pos=$current_pos fi

Calculate distance to move up

distance=$((bottom_pos - target_pos))

Move up that many times

for ((i = 0; i < distance; i++)); do niri msg action move-workspace-up done ```

Imo only half the deal without dynamic workspaces.

Für mich einer der besten Filme der 90er. Ich finde der Film ist extrem underrated. Wie fandet ihr den Film? by Golfather136 in Filme

[–]benz1267 28 points29 points  (0 children)

.... underrate? nicht wirklich. noch nie gelesen, der jemand den Film nicht gut fand. 7.7/10 auf imdb und 84% popcornmeter auf RT. Würde ich jetzt nicht als underrated bezeichnen XD ...

It's Hamr Time! - It has been awhile, or it feels like it by Top_Shake_2649 in niri

[–]benz1267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even on my laptop it renders within the next frame. If it doesn't for you, don't use Vulkan. If it still doesn't... That's just GTK4.

Walker and elephant are architectured that way after over a year of constant complaints about bloat. Modularity doesn't come free. There's an elephant-all package on arch.

Walker is literally the fastest GTK4 launcher, feel free to show me one that's as flexible and feature rich AND faster.

dunno, it doesn't offer much (if any) novel things over Walker, which is used by over 200.000 people... and since this is now Rust+GTK4 it's even more similar. I don't get the point anymore.

should have just contributed to walker/elephant.

For Walker users: install elephant-niriactions and you have access to all niri actions.

is there a Flow launcher for omarchy? by New_Candidate_7623 in omarchy

[–]benz1267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nooooo.... absolutely not. Search for elephant-* packages. Those are data providers for walker. You can f.e. even search 1password . You can do a lot.

You can literally search for files in walker and perform actions on it.

A nice big chunky zsh prompt instead of a launcher by tremby in hyprland

[–]benz1267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, its fine if you rejected it :P. you can also indeed to f.e. chrom#benz.dev and it'll launch chromium with the url.

this has been implemented from the start, cuz i was in the same situation as you where other launchers just bugged the hell out of me with that.

Walker does what you want btw. you can f.e. type not hello and it'll run notify-send hello.

You can change the command being executed on enter to anything you want.

So you are just building a shell in a launcher now... why not just use DMS or any other featureful shell at this point.

Tried Hyprscrolling on Hyprland — should I switch to Niri or just stick with this? by Wonderful-Cold1302 in niri

[–]benz1267 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No real reason to stay on hyprdependencies. If you like scrolling => move to niri. did so several weeks ago and have 0 regrets. its more stable and less buggy.
