fzfrunner

This script is inspired by:

• fzf-pass
• krunner
• krunner-pass

As a former Plasma/krunner (+ krunner-pass) user that has switched to Sway, I wanted a unified runner that can:

• copy passwords stored in $PASSWORD_STORE_DIR to the clipboard
• launch applications in /usr/share/applications
• evaluate math: type 1+1 and have it display 2 in the preview
• fallback to simply run the command "as-is" if entry is none of the above

Usage

Add the following to your Sway config:

bindsym $mod+F2 exec $term --name=fzfrunner -e /path/to/fzfrunner
for_window [app_id="^fzfrunner"] floating enable, border pixel 1, opacity 0.8

Hit $mod+F2 to bring up the runner.

Some runners define alternate actions ((e.g. pass, copy username instead of password to clipboard). To use alternate action, hit alt-enter on the entry instead of enter.

Config

You can define a config file at $HOME/.config/fzfrunner/config

Right now the only thing you can configure it which runners are active. Set 1 to enable, 0 to disable.

Example:

[runners]
applications=1
pass=0
shell=1

If no config file exists, all runners in the runners/ directory will be active.

Runners

Runners must be in a runners/ directory. This directory should be $HOME/.config/fzfrunners/runners If this directory does not exist, the script will fall back to runners/ defined in the same directory as the fzfrunner script itself, as in this repository.

TODO

• More runners
• Configurable alt-action keyboard shortcut
