Yofi A Minimalistic Application Launcher For
So you want to pass argument(s) to the program, right? That's a little bit messy, because sometimes you want to launch an app that contains multiple words and another time an app with some arguments. Personally don't really like the implicit way of handling that (e.g. as it done in rofi), so I'd like to consider an explicit argument separation via special characters, take a look at this issue.
