Find files and directories in Ulauncher using fzf (and fd).

• Ulauncher
• Python 3
• fzf
• fd

• Fuzzy searching for files, directories or both
• Allow hidden files to be searched
• Specify preferred number of results returned
• Specify base directory to be searched
• Ignore certain files and directories - you can do this by creating an ignore-file which follows the .gitignore format, then specify the path to ignore-file in the extension's settings.

Actions:

• Click or press "Enter" to open
  • file with default application
  • directory in your file manager
• Press "Alt+Enter" to open the directory in which the file is contained.
  If the path is a directory, this will be the same as pressing Enter

You can use command runners make or just to run project-specific commands. Any make target can also be run with just. E.g., make dev or just dev

1. Clone repository

   git clone https://github.com/hillaryychan/ulauncher-fzf.git

2. (Optional) Install developer dependencies.
   This is used to install dependencies for running lint and lint-fix. It will require Python 3.10 and poetry.

   make setup

3. Create a symlink to the Ulauncher extensions directory

   make link

4. Stop Ulauncher

5. Run Ulauncher with no extensions and logging enabled

   make dev

6. In a separate terminal, run ulauncher-fzf.
   The command to run the extension should be visible in the logging for Step 4. It should look like this:

   VERBOSE=1 ULAUNCHER_WS_API=ws://127.0.0.1:5050/ulauncher-demo PYTHONPATH=/home/username/projects/ulauncher /usr/bin/python /home/username/.local/share/ulauncher/extensions/ulauncher-demo/main.py

Full list of targets for the command runners:

• setup - install developer dependencies
• lint - run code linters
• format-check - run code formatter checks
• format - run code formatters
• link - create symlink to Ulauncher extensions directory
• unlink - remove symlink created by link
• start - run Ulauncher with logging enabled
• dev - run Ulauncher with no extensions and logging enabled
