The\nmessage can be static or dynamic. Are you already now thinking it will be dog\nslow? Don't worry, nunchux uses caching to keep things snappy.\n\n## What it looks like\n\n### Screenshot\n\n![nunchux screenshot](demos/screenshot.png)\n\n### Gif\n\n[![nunchux demo](https://vhs.charm.sh/vhs-4H4NyQC5bYtYGpNkb6vIaH.gif)](https://vhs.charm.sh/vhs-4H4NyQC5bYtYGpNkb6vIaH.gif)\n\n## How to install it\n\nUse [TPM](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm) for a smooth experience. Add\nthis to your tmux.conf:\n\n```\nset -g @plugin 'datamadsen/nunchux'\n```\n\nThen hit `prefix + I` and you're good to go.\n\nTo update to the latest version, hit `prefix + U` and type `nunchux` (or `all`\nto update all plugins).\n\n## How to invoke it\n\nBy default the menu is invoked with `prefix + g`, but you can change it:\n\n```\nset -g @nunchux-key 'a'\n```\n\nIf you want to invoke it without the prefix, e.g. with `Ctrl-Space`:\n\n```\nset -g @nunchux-key 'C-Space'\n```\n\n## How to configure it\n\nNunchux searches for config in this order:\n\n1. `.nunchuxrc` in current directory or any parent.\n2. `NUNCHUX_RC_FILE` environment variable.\n3. `~/.config/nunchux/config`\n\nYou can also run nunchux without a config and it will offer to create one for\nyou.\n\n### Also see\n\n- [docs/configuration.md](docs/configuration.md) for the full reference.\n- [docs/examples.md](docs/examples.md) for real-world examples.\n\n### Shell Integration\n\nIf you use nvm, pyenv, or other tools that modify your shell environment, you'll\nwant apps launched via nunchux to inherit that environment.\n\n**Why is this needed?**\n\nTmux popups run in tmux's *server* environment, not your shell's environment.\nWhen you run `nvm use 18` or `export FOO=bar`, those changes only exist in your\nshell - tmux doesn't know about them. There's no tmux API to \"run a command\ninside a pane's shell context\", so we work around it with a shell hook that\nsaves your environment after each command. When nunchux launches an app, it\nreads that saved environment.\n\nAdd this to your shell rc file:\n\n**Bash** (`~/.bashrc`):\n\n```bash\nsource ~/.tmux/plugins/nunchux/shell-init.bash\n```\n\n**Zsh** (`~/.zshrc`):\n\n```zsh\nsource ~/.tmux/plugins/nunchux/shell-init.zsh\n```\n\n**Fish** (`~/.config/fish/config.fish`):\n\n```fish\nsource ~/.tmux/plugins/nunchux/shell-init.fish\n```\n\nThis saves your environment after each command, so apps launched from nunchux\n(even from within vim or lazygit) inherit your current PATH, exports, etc.\n\n## Dependencies\n\n- tmux\n- fzf v0.66+\n- curl (for menu hot-swap)\n\n### Task runner dependencies\n\n| Task Runner | Required |\n|-------------|----------|\n| just | [just](https://github.com/casey/just) |\n| npm | jq |\n| task | [task](https://taskfile.dev) or go-task, jq |\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdatamadsen%2Fnunchux","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdatamadsen%2Fnunchux","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdatamadsen%2Fnunchux/lists"}
