Launch apps by casting spells! 🪄\n\n![Demo GIF](.github/assets/demo.gif)\n\n## Installation\n\n### Nix / NixOS\n\nIf you're a lucky [Nix](https://nixos.org/) user, you can:\n\n**Try it out without installing:**\n```bash\nnix run github:ThatOtherAndrew/Hexecute\n```\n\n**Install to your profile:**\n```bash\nnix profile install github:ThatOtherAndrew/Hexecute\n```\n\n**Add to your NixOS configuration:**\n```nix\n# flake.nix\n{\n  inputs.hexecute.url = \"github:ThatOtherAndrew/Hexecute\";\n}\n```\n```nix\n# configuration.nix\n{\n  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [\n    inputs.hexecute.packages.${pkgs.system}.default\n  ];\n}\n```\n\n### Executable download\n\nDownload the latest version from the [release page](https://github.com/ThatOtherAndrew/Hexecute/releases/latest), and place it somewhere in your `$PATH`.\n\n**Don't forget to rename the downloaded binary to `hexecute` and make it executable:**\n```bash\nmv hexecute-1.2.3-blah hexecute\nchmod +x hexecute\n```\n\n### Build from Source\n\nClone the repository:\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/ThatOtherAndrew/Hexecute\ncd Hexecute\n```\n\nIf you have [Nix](https://nixos.org/) installed, simply run `nix build`.\n\nOtherwise, make sure you have Go (and all dependent Wayland (and X11!?) libs) installed, then run:\n```bash\nmkdir -p bin\ngo build -o bin ./...\n./bin/hexecute\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Setting a Keybind\nThe recommended way to use Hexecute is to bind it to a keyboard shortcut in your compositor.\n\nListed below are some examples for popular compositors using the `SUPER` + `SPACE` keybind.\n\n#### Hyprland\n\nIf you're using Hyprland, add the following line to your `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`:\n\n```\nbind = SUPER, SPACE, exec, hexecute\n```\n\n#### Sway\n\nIf you're using Sway, add the following line to your `~/.config/sway/config`:\n\n```\nbindsym $mod+space exec hexecute\n```\n\n### Learning a Gesture\n\nTo configure a gesture to launch an application, run `hexecute --learn [command]` in a terminal. Hexecute should launch - simply draw your chosen gesture **3 times** and it will be mapped to the command.\n\n![Gesture learning demo](assets/hexecute-learn.gif)\n\n### Managing Gestures\n\nTo view all your configured gestures, run `hexecute --list` in a terminal.\n\nTo delete a previously assigned gesture, use the `hexecute --remove [gesture]` command.\n\nAll gestures are saved in the `~/.config/hexecute/gestures.json` file. This file can be manually shared, edited, backed up, or swapped.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthatotherandrew%2Fhexecute","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fthatotherandrew%2Fhexecute","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthatotherandrew%2Fhexecute/lists"}
