So I have started building the frontend for HyprSearch
This is definitely the most largest hyprtool, as it needs the extra code for the titlebarless appearance, pystray integration, spawn on keyboard shortcut, settings, displaying of results, and the ROUNDED CORNERS (dont get me started, basically u need to chroma key out a specific color that is present on the edges of the screen
Well, features:
-
You can, via this tool, open websites with only name, search using search engine, fetch wiki summary, install apps, open apps, find files, tell the time, solve math, run commands from this little bar
-
Each search can show multiple results in order of relevance, max five results, for example, searching “Minecraft” will pull up Open app: Minecraft, then open folder “.minecraft”, then open website “ minecraft.net “ then engine search “ minecraft “
-
Some basic keyboard shortcuts:
Alt + Qfor spawning the search bar,Escfor closing the search bar,Enterfor well, yk (idk how to describe it), like entering the query? (also it automatically opens the top result), andCtrl + <1 - 5 num row keys>for opening one of the results. -
It lives in ur system tray! (not a lot to say here)
As of writing this devlog, I am just testing stuff, like UI jank, and stuff, ik the border is thick, I am working on it
PS: IMPORTANT: im fucked.
u see, i am using a python lib called AppOpener for opening apps, but it cannot detect UWP apps or apps in external drives, and I use a lot of UWP apps (yk, like minecraft) and apps on external drives, so I have to remake the entire app-opening part
(also i am a responsible dev and i think abt other people’s setup while coding)
