### Post installation
After the package installation, follow the instructions below:
- Install bamf daemon (It is strongly recommend to add bamf daemon to autostart)
- Install GTK module using instructions below
- To get QT menus to work, install your distribution's qt4 and qt5 appmenu packages
**UBUNTU**
* Install [unity-gtk-module](https://launchpad.net/unity-gtk-module) with `sudo apt-get install unity-gtk2-module unity-gtk3-module`
* Follow instructions in [appmenu-gtk-module](https://github.com/rilian-la-te/vala-panel-appmenu/blob/master/subprojects/appmenu-gtk-module/README.md), but replace any occurence of `appmenu-gtk-module` to `unity-gtk-module`
**ARCH LINUX**
* Install [appmenu-gtk-module](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/appmenu-gtk-module) for GTK appmenu support
* Install [appmenu-qt4](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/appmenu-qt4) for Qt4 appmenu support
* Install [libdbusmenu-gtk2](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/libdbusmenu-gtk2) and [libdbusmenu-gtk3](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/libdbusmenu-gtk3) for GTK2 and GTK3 dbusmenu support
* Install [libdbusmenu-qt4](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libdbusmenu-qt4) and [libdbusmenu-qt5](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libdbusmenu-qt5) for Qt4 and Qt5 dbusmenu support
*The post installation instructions above are adapted from [Vala Panel Application Menu](https://github.com/rilian-la-te/vala-panel-appmenu).*
### Packages
Arch Linux: [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-hud)
## Usage
After the installation is completed, you will have 3 executables and a gnomehud.desktop file available.
* Open the GTK3 menu dialog with `gnomehud`
* Open the Rofi menu dialog with `gnomehud-rofi`
* Start the AppMenu service with `gnomehud-service`
The desktop file launches `gnomehud-service` and can be used to add it to the startup applications in gnome-tweaks. The dialog commands can be used for custom keyboard shortcuts in keyboard settings.
When running the dialog commands from a terminal the keybinding is Ctrl + Alt + Space.
