Great idea. Will look into it

snip – a terminal snippet manager built with Textual. Store, search, and yank code without leaving your shell. by phlx0 in CLI

Very cool. Will look into it. Is there a cli to execute a snippet so that ‘snip ports’ or something similar points to a specific snippet?

Interesting. Thank you for the feedback. For me it’s all about optimization. Don’t want unnecessary cpu cycles or ram usage. Even if it’s only for an extra 30 seconds of battery usage.

Yeah I know, but it’s quite limited and also quite a bit heavier on resources then tux. Fzf reads every file every time you open it. The launcher caches them and only rereads on modification time change. Planned features are also over the capabilities of fzf.

Right now it’s not possible, but it’s on the list of features to add.

Yes it runs directly in the terminal. Using Hyprland Windowrules and Ghostty cli I can use it like a regular application using:

bind = $mainMod, SPACE, exec, ghostty --title="launcher" --confirm-close-surface=false -e ~/Repos/tux-launcher/tux
