## Installation
```sh
cargo install seekr-util
```
### Features
- `gtk-layer-shell` allow the seekr window to be displayed as a layer of the
desktop _[wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1](https://wayland.app/protocols/wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1)_
- `localsearch`, in addition to searching apps to launch, with this feature, it
is possible to search through files using the same method as the gnome
shell.
### Requirements
- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
- [gtk4](https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/)
- [gtk4-layer-shell](https://github.com/wmww/gtk4-layer-shell) (for gtk-layer-shell support)
- [localsearch](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/localsearch) (for localsearch)
## Usage
Running seekr is as simple as
```sh
$ seekr
```
`seekr` can also be run silently by passing the `--silent` options.
This will run seekr without open a window
## Configuration
On the first run of the app, configurations files will be generated into
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/seekr` or `$HOME/.config/seekr`
