How to start an application from a KWin script?
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.

Open a program only if it is not running already
Have a look at jumpapp for full configurability

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

Make window appear on demand on the current desktop and monitor? (Same as Guake terminal does)
If you're on X11: jumpapp

You're using function keys wrong
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.

Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
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.

What's your favorite feature you implemented on your keymap? (can be anything!)
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.

Yazi: Fast terminal file manager based on async I/O
I've tried using LF in the past, but it didn't stick. Will definitely give this a go, as I'm trying to move to an pure terminal workflow as closely as possible.

What are the best open source tools to easily navigate directories from the command line?
Hi. fff, lf, clifm Won't say they're best or not, rather interesting and maybe worth looking at. Looked up for the z in termux's repos and it's called "zoxide" there.
- Switching from unix - Is there a plugin or something similar to Ranger or NNN?
- NvimTree vs NeoTree

LF filemanager is awesome - so is zsh, which I want to migrate to. But in bash and fish, you can make a function so when quitting LF, you end up in the dir you were in in LF. can't find something similar for zsh
in the Github page for lf under etc, you can find instruction for making such a function for bash and fish.

What is the process of requesting for a package to be added to the official repos?
I recently discovered an amazing terminal file manager (lf). The package is available for most mainstream distros but not for openSUSE.

What are your programs missing from the official Fedora repos?
For me, the main program missing is "lf" the ranger inspired terminal file manager. 5000 stars on Github, packaged in the official repos for basically anything under the sun except Fedora and a key part in my day-to-day workflow. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
