NAME
gmrun - Featureful CLI-like GTK+ application launcher
SYNOPSIS
gmrun [TEXT]
DESCRIPTION
gmrun is a GTK program that allows a user to use a CLI-like interface to launch applications.
OPTIONS
If gmrun is invoked with a command-line parameter, that will be the initial content of the dialog box.
gmrun can be customized using a configuration file, ~/.gmrunrc . The system-wide configuration file is /etc/gmrunrc .
The format of the configuration file is simple; “variable = value”.
- Example:
- variable1 = foobar
- Terminal
- The command to run when Ctrl+Enter is pressed with no command entered; used to start a new terminal.
- TermExec
- The command to run when Ctrl+Enter is pressed with a command entered. The entered command is supplied as an argument to TermExec.
- Geometry
- see /etc/gmrunrc for more info
- History
- Number of entered commands which should be kept in gmrun’s history(~/.gmrun_history). Using the Up and Down arrow keys within the gmrun window will cycle through the history. You can search backwards through the history with Ctrl+R, and forward with Ctrl+S. Hit “!” to enter a special search that matches only the start of strings. To cancel a search, hit the ESC key. Otherwise, after you have found the history item you wish to run, hit Enter. Also: CTRL-P = Up / CTRL-N = Down.
- ShowLast
- Whether to show the last command as initial text, or an empty textarea (1 or 0).
- Selected
- Whether the initial text should be selected or not (1 or 0).
URL/File HANDLING
- USE_GLIB_XDG = 1
- For automatic URL and File handling using the freedesktop specification.
- (no term)
- See /etc/gmrunrc for custom URL and extension handlers (USE_GLIB_XDG = 0) ::
- (no term)
- The included configuration files have a few examples which you can work with. You should also note that the protocol part of URL_protocol can be anything. You can set up “URL_foobarbazcustom”, and so long as you enter in “foobarbazcustom:<whatever>”, it will use the given program. ::
