Rapid Copper

This is a simple desktop launcher that is heavily inspired by quicksilver. Currently still in prototype form, and am still focusing in getting the CLI interface done properly.

Example Usage:

Rebuild index

rc rebuild-index

Crude desktop launcher

$ rc do firefox
0 app:          /home/jeffrey04/.local/share/applications/userapp-Firefox Developer Edition-EPEGV2.desktop - Custom definition for Firefox Developer Edition
                Firefox Developer Edition
1 app:          /home/jeffrey04/.local/share/applications/firefox-developer.desktop - Firefox Aurora with Developer tools
                Firefox Developer Edition
2 app:          /home/jeffrey04/.local/share/applications/userapp-Firefox Developer Edition-8CCQV2.desktop - Custom definition for Firefox Developer Edition
                Firefox Developer Edition
Enter choice: :

Copying text to clipboard

$ rc do echo foo bar '|' clipboard

Writing plugins:

Actions

• take multiple arguments

  """a short description of your plugin in the first line"""
  
  def run (*args: str) -> str | None:
      pass
  

• name the file as action_$name.py and save it to $HOME/.config/plugins/

Pipes (prolly need better name)

• take just 1 argument

  """a short description of your plugin in the first line"""
  
  def run(arg: str) -> str | None:
      pass
  

• name the file as pipe_$name.py and save it to $HOME/.config/plugins/

Coming Soon

• GUI
• proper code with tests
• allow piping bytes across (e.g. screen capture)
• File searching?
