Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
bemenu
-
Bash Menu
I really like using something like fuzzy search for menus like these. https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu is pretty cool in that it works both in a terminal, X11 and on Wayland, so if you want to do something graphical later you can easily migrate. There's also fzf and skim, which work similarly but are only for the terminal.

Run scripts using keybindings in default settings
I know that dmenu won't work on wayland, hence I installed bemenu as a drop-in replacement. Now I want to configure keybindings for my scripts using the default settings, but they don't seem to work. Running my scripts from the terminal work, but not when running them via keybinding.
-
command line menu / launcher?
bemenu (i. e. bemenu-run) is a simple launcher that has command line interface (set with BEMENU_BACKEND environment variable), also fzf can be useful in this regard but it will most likely require writing additional scripts to work as a launcher.
-
The end of the nice GTK button
I've already highlighted how using environment variables to change themes is a horrible user experience. The bemenu program suffers from the same flaw. Environment Variables should never be used in any way for values that might change inside a running session.

No_color
Environment variables are fine when used for things that usually don't change once they're set. For example, XDG_CONFIG_HOME or GOPATH. They are, however, absolutely awful when used to configure values that will probably change inside a session. A good example is BEMENU_OPTS from the bemenu program, which is used to change colors, font etc. Should I relogin into my session just to make a program use dark mode colors?
https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu#environment-variables
In such cases, environment variables lose their intended purpose and they need to be stuffed into wrapper scripts or overridden on the command line before executing a command, which is extremely annoying.

Instead of rofi, bemenu[2] is nice too.

tessen: an interactive menu to autotype and copy password store data on Wayland, like rofi-pass
tessen can use either bemenu, the wayland fork of rofi, or wofi to show password store data. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs root privileges.

FzfLua Quickstart: it's never been easier to try out fzf-lua
Current profiles (to be improved upon): | Profile | Details | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | default | fzf-lua defaults, uses neovim "builtin" previewer and devicons (if available) for git/files/buffers | | fzf-native | utilizes fzf's native previewing ability in the terminal where possible using bat for previews | | fzf-tmux | similar to fzf-native and opens in a tmux popup (requires tmux > 3.2) | | max-perf | similar to fzf-native and disables icons globally for max performance | | telescope | closest match to telescope defaults in look and feel and keybinds | | skim | uses skim as an fzf alternative, (requires the sk binary) |

Is there a way to unravel a filepath based on a known end file?
There’s also a variety of fuzzy finders like https://github.com/lotabout/skim or fzf. Basically the same thing, but different interface.

I wrote a "12 favourite terminal tools" list-article, what did I left out that should be absolutely included?
Have you ever tried sk? skim is an fzf re-write in 🦞. While I use it occasionally, I never really incorporated fzf into my workflow so I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

Zsh history syntax highlighting on fzf-history-widget?
I’m not familiar at all with fzf, but I do know that skim supports this.

You state that as a blank and white fact, but there's nuance.
