A run utiliy featuring a slim design and bash style auto-completion.
* Tilda completion (~/ <==> $HOME/)
* Completion works for separate words (e.g. you can type em<TAB> which
turns to emacs, type a SPACE, and write the file you want to open using
completion).
* Configuration file: ~/.gmrunrc or /etc/gmrunrc.
Check one of them, configuration is very simple. From that file you
can change window position and width, history size, terminal, URL
handlers, etc.
* CTRL-Enter runs the command in a terminal.
* CTRL-Enter without any command starts a new terminal.
* History is maintained in the file "~/.gmrun_history".
* CTRL-R to search backwards through history.
* CTRL-S to search forward through history.
* "!" enters a special search mode, matching only the start of strings.
-- Esc to cancel search (only once).
-- CTRL-G to cancel search and clear the text entry
* URL handlers allowing you to enter lines like "http://www.google.com"
to start your favorite browser on www.google.com.
The URL-s are configurable from the configuration file.
* Extension handlers. Basically you can run, for instance,
a ".txt" file, assuming that you have configured a handler for it
in the configuration file.
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install
By default it will use the GTK3 ui if it's available.
Pass `--enable-gtk2` to `./configure` to build the gtk2 ui
Optionally you can configure your window manager to call gmrun
with WinKey + R or something.
