gmrun - Featureful CLI-like GTK+ application launcher
gmrun is a GTK program that allows a user to use a CLI-like
interface to launch applications.
If gmrun is invoked with a command-line parameter, that will be
the initial content of the dialog box.
gmrun can be customized using a configuration file, ~/.gmrunrc .
The system-wide configuration file is /etc/gmrunrc .
The format of the configuration file is simple; "variable =
value".
- Example:
- variable1 = foobar
- Terminal
- The command to run when Ctrl+Enter is pressed with no command entered;
used to start a new terminal.
- TermExec
- The command to run when Ctrl+Enter is pressed with a command entered. The
entered command is supplied as an argument to TermExec.
- Geometry
- see /etc/gmrunrc for more info
- History
- Number of entered commands which should be kept in gmrun's
history(~/.gmrun_history). Using the Up and Down arrow keys within the
gmrun window will cycle through the history. You can search backwards
through the history with Ctrl+R, and forward with Ctrl+S. Hit
"!" to enter a special search that matches only the start of
strings. To cancel a search, hit the ESC key. Otherwise, after you
have found the history item you wish to run, hit Enter. Also: CTRL-P = Up
/ CTRL-N = Down.
- ShowLast
- Whether to show the last command as initial text, or an empty textarea (1
or 0).
- Selected
- Whether the initial text should be selected or not (1 or 0).
