Usage
Usage
One input field. What you type decides whether you launch an app, find a file, calculate, or kill a process.
Unified search
Typing without a keyword searches everything at once: apps (with romaji→kana matching), system commands (shutdown, restart, lock…), the calculator, web search, and workflow apps. With an empty query you get the dashboard — most-used apps, open windows, and recent clipboard entries.
Keywords
Prefixing a keyword routes the query to a single plugin.
| Keyword | Target | Example |
|---|---|---|
| f | File search. Uses Everything (es.exe) across all drives when available, otherwise a local index of user folders | f invoice |
| w | List and switch between open windows | w chrome |
| cb | Clipboard history (last 50 entries). Bare cb shows the 10 most recent |
cb meeting |
| ps | Ports / processes. Bare ps lists listening processes, digits search by port, text by process name |
ps 3000 |
| = | Calculator. Enter copies the result to the clipboard | =12800*1.1 |
Word keywords need a following space: ps 3000 is a process search, but psql stays a normal query. Only the symbolic = attaches directly, as in =1+2.
Secondary actions
Enter runs the default action (open, switch, copy). With a result selected, tap Shift (or press Ctrl+K) to open the action panel; right-clicking shows the same menu.
- Files / apps — Open in folder, Copy path
- Windows — Close window
- Clipboard history — Delete from history
- Processes — Force quit, Copy PID
- Workflow apps — Copy URL
Pins
Pin anything you use often with Ctrl+D (or the action panel's "📌 Pin"). Pins live in the manage view's Pins tab: reorder with Ctrl+↑↓, unpin with Delete or Ctrl+D.
Manage view
Ctrl+, opens the manage view. Tab / Shift+Tab cycle search → pins → workflows → launcher → keybindings.
- Launcher — every installed app in a two-column grid, ordered by launch count. Navigate with ↑↓←→; hover shows the full path
- Workflows — review installed packages
- Keybindings — record new key bindings on screen (also editable in config.json)
