Ulauncher VS jumpapp

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.

Ulauncher. You can also watch this video to see what it can do.

Install ULauncher https://ulauncher.io

A good alternative though is Ulauncher

I am trying to replicate https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp as a KWin script. Since I decided to use Wayland instead of X11, where jumpapp does not work.

Have a look at jumpapp for full configurability

I have become reliant on jumpapp and really miss it now that I am running hyprland. Has anyone come up with a wayland replacement?

If you're on X11: jumpapp

Maybe checkout https://vickychijwani.me/blazing-fast-application-switching-.... Personally I use jumpapp which does more or less the same thing. https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp.

jumpapp - its a run-or-raise app. Basically, you set up a shortcut for something that you use often (an IDE, a browser, a terminal etc). Once you activate the shortcut, jumpapp will either run the app if its running, or start the app if it isn't.

This may be off-topic, but would you mind sharing your AutoHotKey script? I'm used to Jumpapp on Linux, but I was never able to recreate the same behavior on Windows.

I use jumpapp[0] and find it fantastic for application switching on Manjaro/KDE.

Looks like jumpapp is exactly what you want - provided you're on X11.
