What is Kando?\n\n**🌸 Kando is a cross-platform pie menu for your desktop.** It offers an unconventional, fast, highly efficient, and fun way of interacting with your computer! You can use Kando to launch applications, simulate keyboard shortcuts, open files, and much more.\n\nKando is designed to be used with 🖱️ mouse, 🖊️ stylus, 👆 touch, or 🎮 controller input. If you have both hands at your keyboard most of the time, Kando is maybe not the right tool for you.\n\nYou are welcome to join the 💬 [Discord server](https://discord.gg/hZwbVSDkhy) to discuss the project, ask questions, or just to hang out with other Kando enthusiasts!\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"docs/img/kando.gif\"/\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\nKando runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.\nOn Linux, most desktop environments are supported, however some require additional configuration.\nHave a look at the [installation guide](https://kando.menu/installation-on-linux/) for more information.\n\n# :package: Where do I get Kando?\n\nThere are several ways to install Kando, depending on your operating system and preferences.\nIf you want to install the latest release, you can read the respective instructions for [Windows](https://kando.menu/installation-on-windows/), [macOS](https://kando.menu/installation-on-macos/), or [Linux](https://kando.menu/installation-on-linux/).\n\nYou can also [build Kando from source](https://kando.menu/compile-from-source/).\nThis is only required if you want to contribute to the project or if you want to use the latest features that are not yet released.\n\n# :rocket: How do I use Kando?\n\nKando comes with an example menu which you can open by pressing \u003ckbd\u003eCtrl\u003c/kbd\u003e+\u003ckbd\u003eSpace\u003c/kbd\u003e on most platforms.\nThis is great to get a first impression!\nTo learn some basics about the interaction with Kando, you can have a look at the [:memo: Usage Guide](https://kando.menu/usage/).\n\nOnce you are familiar with the basics, you can start creating your own menus.\nLearn how to create your own menus in the [:memo: Configuration Guide](https://kando.menu/creating-menus/)!\n\n# :revolving_hearts: Who creates Kando?\n\n👋 Hi there!
