I don't get why this guy is down on #synapse for a #Linux #applicationlauncher

Since discovering the app launchers on Linux, i'm all about it as a go-to.

E.g. when I was at my g/f place a year ago I used #icewm because of it's tiny footprint. add Synapse on top of that (as #Ulauncher doesn't work correctly on #Wayland in my experience, but i prefer #ulauncher )

Never tried those recommended here:

Do you ever use those apps @zombiewarrior ?
i mean, just the "search" on the start menu is decent. but you're not going ot have that, e.g. #IceWM #Fluxbox #openbox etc.

@Fitozg ah, vale, ya sé lo que quieres, perdona.

Para buscar en carpetas necesitas de una extensión, por si solo #ulauncher solo te busca apps.

Yo utilizo "Better File Browser" para ello, simplemente en el campo de búsqueda pongo delante una "f" y ya busco la carpeta que quiero. Entiendo que es lo que quieres.

No sé si te cuadra, sino busca entre todas las extensiones que tiene la app la que más se ajuste a lo que quieres.

Te dejo una captura para que lo veas.

@olivergrimm @thelinuxEXP Yep. I’ve been using in Cinnamon primarily, but when I can’t remember the app’s name, a graphical launcher where I can organize my apps is handy.

I am also trying to use GNOME’S concept of workspaces instead of minimizing app windows to a panel or dock. My small touchpad (by modern standards) will occasionally balk at GNOME’S three-finger gestures, however.

Question to my fell users: I am using my desktop in german, on fedora ulauncher automatically uses the german names of applications, however on anything that is ubuntu based it sticks to english and I can't figure out, how to change that.

Any suggestions?

#Ulauncher turned out to be a very convenient thing. I've installed it a couple of days ago, and it has clicked right into my workflow as if it's always been there.

I love it how Linux allows for a wide use of keyboard. It's not an accessibility thing for me, pure convenience. Still, I like to be able to rely on keyboard.

That's why I really hate what #Veracrypt is doing - or, rather, not doing. Not a single hotkey on the Linux version, including force dismount. Ugh.
