Looking for a good app launcher for Linux. Currently looking for something for Arch and I see there's a lot of options liks rofi and wofi. What are your favourite app launchers and why?

I use rofi as my app launcher and more. I've share my old script here.

I have now extended this script to support the following:

  • execute a command if the input text belongs to /bin or /usr/local/bin
  • do some basic maths (using menu-calc)
  • open url in my web browser if the input text starts starts with http(s) or ends with .xxx (where x is any letter)
  • translate the input text in English/French using the deepl website if the input text starts with dpen/dpfr
  • search the input text with searx (if all the above failed)
  • manage my web bookmarks (using buku)
  • manage my clipboard (using copyq)
  • manage my passwords and autofill fields (using pass)
  • manage bluetooth devices
  • manage audio sinks and sources
  • manage my wifi and vpn
  • manage my tmux sessions
  • source
