# Spike

Spike is a simple application launcher, inspired by

[dmenu](http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/).

## Installation

To install Spike, first install

[Qt version 5.3](http://qt-project.org/qt5/qt53) or higher. It might

work with earlier Qt 5.x versions, but these are unsupported.

To compile and install:

```sh

$ qmake

$ make

$ sudo install build/spike /usr/local/bin/spike # or wherever you want it

```

## Running

Simply launch the `spike` executable, and you'll be presented with a

menu of installed XDG applications. Launching `spike -s path` will

instead present you with all executables available on your system

path.

Start typing to narrow your search, navigate through displayed options

using the left and right arrow keys, and launch the current selection

with the return key. You can cancel without launching anything using

the Escape, Ctrl-C or Ctrl-G keys.
