A command palette for your operating system.
Palette holds a list of easy-access commands and when prompted displays a searchable cheat-sheet including the keyboard shortcut each command is bound to.
Palette runs as a daemon (paletted), and is controlled through palette which communicates with the daemon through a socket.
The program is designed to also manage your keyboard shortcuts for you by creating its own instance of sxhkd with a generated configuration.
Palette is configured through a YAML file, with each command containing a description, exec string, an optional keybinding, and optional meta keywords:
description: A string describing the command.
exec: The string to execute with `sh -c EXEC_STRING` whenever the command is run.
keybinding [OPTIONAL]: Keybinding for the command. Note that the syntax for this field is identical to sxhkd's keybinding syntax.
meta [OPTIONAL]: Additional invisible search terms for the command.
For an example configuration, see here.
