NAME
kupfer - A simple launcher
SYNOPSIS
kupfer [ OPTIONS | QUERY ]
DESCRIPTION
Kupfer is a launcher. You do not primarily use it to search your files,
you use it to summon the object you are thinking about.
Kupfer is written using Python and has a flexible architecture. It can
work with applications and files, recent documents and web browser
bookmarks, and many more types of user data.
The philosophy of Kupfer is simplicity. The implementation is simple,
makes the easy things work first, and does not overimplement unnecessary parts of the program.
SPAWNING
Running kupfer on the command line (without options) will try to summon
it if already running.
If the keybinder module is installed, kupfer will listen to a keybinding. By default the keybinding is <Control>space to focus kupfer.
- Kupfer can be invoked with a text query, with
- kupfer QUERY
