Using Ubuntu with Ulauncher
Anyhow, I do prefer the Ulauncher over using the native GNOME launcher (probably has a different name like application menu, I mean the thing that opens once one clicks the super key).
- ULauncher - Larger window area?

How do you guys make good use of the app grid? I feel like I use it way less than I originally thought.
NOTE: If you're using a Wayland session, the Ctrl + Space shortcut (which brings up the launcher) will be unreliable due to other windows eating the keyboard events instead (see the official Ulauncher wiki). The workaround solution is very simple and also works on X11, so we'll replace Ulauncher's default binding with the workaround technique everywhere, so that it works universally on both X11 and Wayland.

how to launch ulauncher on startup, possibly not with runit?
I currently am running Void with i3 and the default dmenu. I wanted to try out ulauncher app launcher. To get it to work, I launch using dmenu or type ulauncher in the CLI, then i hit escape to close it but it still stays in the system tray so that I can call it anytime (going forward) with $mod-Space.
