To python plugin developers:

• write plugin in python is more like a preview feature, not all launchy interface is ported to python, and I will keep working on this part to provide a better and more comprehensive support.
• I rarely develop in python, and I just learned the basics of python, so I need suggestions and advices about python. If you have any idea or I did something wrong, go ahead and post an issue.
• If you need extra lanchy interface exposed to python, post an issue.

Launchy in Qt5

The Launchy comes back. Find that familiar feeling now.

Changes:

• Qt5.11.1, It's 2018 now, migrated to Qt higher version.
• non-boost dependency, C++11 supports shared_ptr , and I'm trying to get Launchy out of boost library.
• whole new hotkey implemetation, the hotkey did not work, I tried hard to fix it, but it still failed, so I write a new one.

Warning Important:

• only core feature is good, and I have not test it for stability, so this would be buggy.
• plugins are not included yet, all the plugins still faill for now.
• only windows version is developing, and I have tested on windows 7.
