# Fuzzel
Fuzzel is a Wayland-native application launcher, similar to rofi's
_drun_ mode.
[](https://repology.org/project/fuzzel/versions)
## Screenshot

## Features:
- Wayland native
- Rofi drun-like mode of operation
- dmenu mode where newline separated entries are read from stdin
- Emacs key bindings
- Icons!
- Remembers frequently launched applications
## Limitations:
- No themes (but you **can** configure font and colors)
## Requirements
### Runtime
* pixman
* wayland (_client_ and _cursor_ libraries)
* xkbcommon
* cairo (optional)
* libpng (optional)
* librsvg (optional)
* [fcft](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fcft) [^1]
[^1]: can also be built as subprojects, in which case they are
statically linked.
### Building
* meson
* ninja
* wayland protocols
* scdoc
* [tllist](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/tllist) [^1]
## Installation
To build, first, create a build directory, and switch to it:
```sh
mkdir -p bld/release && cd bld/release
```
Second, configure the build (if you intend to install it globally, you
might also want `--prefix=/usr`):
```sh
meson --buildtype=release \
-Denable-cairo=disabled|enabled|auto \
-Dpng-backend=none|libpng \
-Dsvg-backend=none|librsvg|nanosvg \
../..
```
`-D{png,svg}-backend` can be used to force-enable or force-disable a
specific png and/or svg backend. Note that _nanosvg_ is builtin
(i.e. it needs to external dependencies).
`-Denable-cairo` can be used to force-enable or force-disable cairo
support. When disabled, fuzzel will not be able to draw rounded
corners, nor will it support SVGs using the _librsvg_ backend.
Three, build it:
```sh
ninja
```
You can now run it directly from the build directory:
```sh
./fuzzel
```
Use command line arguments to configure the look-and-feel:
```sh
./fuzzel --help
```
Optionally, install it:
```sh
ninja install
```
For more detailed configuration information, see the man page:
```sh
man fuzzel
```
