  • What's the fastest way to open a file in Linux?
    4 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 10 Feb 2022
    I wanted the same experience (press hotkey, type part of the name of the file, press enter) and wrote this small program that does exactly that (plus handles websites, shell commands, and is very customizable). By default it uses dmenu but you can make it use rofi or anything else. There's actually a whole bunch of similar programs, such as dmenu-extended which probably is the most famous.
