Consider this alpha-quality: While it works, everything is subject to change with a moments notice. You may end up pulling in the latest changes, and poof, wldash suddenly turns into an artisan espresso machine.

How to use

Checkout: git clone https://github.com/kennylevinsen/wldash
Build: cargo build --release If you want the Ivy calculator feature enabled (requires a Go toolchain): cargo build --release --features ivy If you want the bc calculator feature enabled: cargo build --release --features bc
Put somewhere: cp target/release/wldash /usr/local/bin/wldash
Run: wldash

How to use launcher

Assuming https://github.com/kennylevinsen/dot-desktop is installed: eval "$(dot-desktop "$(dot-desktop | wldash)")"

wldash simply takes a new-line separated list of strings, and returns the selection. dot-desktop generates this list, and afterwards processes the selection to return the proper instantiation string. Eval then executes it.

Launcher

Works like bemenu: pipe a list into wldash, and it will print out the selection made. Use https://github.com/kennylevinsen/dot-desktop if you want to launch using desktop files.

The launcher also accepts prefix operators to change its mode:

!: Arbitrary command
=: Calculator, currently requires the ivy feature. See https://godoc.org/robpike.io/ivy for documentation on the syntax and features.

To display the launcher on all outputs export WLDASH_ALL_OUTPUTS=1

Notable missing features:

Configurability
Cleanup and reorganization
