jumpapp VS Gnome-Pie

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.

Something like this? https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp

Have you tried Simon Schneegans "Gnome Pie" application launcher that lets you define your own pie menus?

For his thesis, he also designed and implemented the Coral Menu:

And the Trace Menu:

Fly-Pie is his more recent work:

>Fly-Pie is an attractive marking menu for GNOME Shell. Fly-Pie 10 brings improved touch support, a new clipboard menu and a bunch of other new features!

You want confirmation for your command, which I find only natural. It is unfortunate KDE's own mouse gestures are not more developed. There are Easystroke for X11 and Gnomie-Pie from the same dev you mentioned. The latter I never used myself, but someone implied it is cross-DE, ironically.

Anyway, consider https://github.com/Schneegans/Gnome-Pie. Despite the name, it works outside GNOME.

If you're fine with using an external program, I think Gnome Pie can detect and change its menu depending on the currently selected window. Then maybe you could bind its options to Hotkeys in Xournal? There's also the far superior Fly Pie.
