# Mauncher

Mauncher is a GTK-based alternative to dmenu for Wayland which supports display

scaling.

## Installation

### From Package

The [mauncher-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mauncher-git/) package is

available for Arch Linux.

### Compiling From Source

Run `make` to compile, `sudo make install` to install, and `sudo make uninstall`

to uninstall.

Dependencies:

* meson

* git

* gtk3

* gobject-introspection

## Usage

Mauncher comes with a launcher called `mauncher-launcher`,

so running `mauncher-launcher` will start a launcher which lists desktop files,

supports math (through a python interpreter), running shell commands by

prefixing the string with a `$`, etc.

Otherwise, mauncher works like dmenu; give it a newline-separated list of strings on

stdin, the user selects an item, and that item is printed to stdout.

Just as you would use `dmenu_path | dmenu | sh` to use dmenu as a launcher, you

can use `dmenu_path | mauncher | sh` to use mauncher as a launcher.
