I’ve made an application launcher for myself that uses fzf to pick the application. Currently, it launches in an Alacritty window with a special config - it’s a small rectangle that has the fzf dialog, you pick the application and it goes away. That’s all the interaction needed. If I wanted to try to make this “GUI” more generic, what would I use?
They both look good and can do the job, but as far as I can tell, I cant just call fzf into one of them and be done with it? I don’t want to write extra code for the GUI. This question is for research purposes mostly, I don’t intend to distribute this application - it has far too many functionality specific to me, hence why I don’t use one of the popular launchers.
Mainly, I haven’t found a way to disable animations just for this specific window in KDE. That’s where the initial search started. Other launchers are not affected by opening/closing animations so I was curious how they do that.
This should still work: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-make-a-window-rule-to-turn-off-compositing-for-a-certain-app/10341
