FSearch como alternativa Linux ao PowerToys Run

Atualizado em

Nossa avaliação

FSearch can replace PowerToys Run for users who mainly need a quick file search and launch from a keyboard shortcut, but it lacks the full launcher features such as running arbitrary commands, calculating expressions, or integrating with the desktop environment. It is suitable for Linux users who want a fast, GTK‑based file finder and are comfortable using a separate launcher for applications, whereas PowerToys Run users who rely on its command‑execution and calculation shortcuts will find FSearch insufficient.

Trocando o PowerToys Run pelo FSearch, passo a passo

  1. 1. Install FSearch from your distribution’s package manager or Flathub.
  2. 2. Set a global keyboard shortcut (e.g., Alt+Space) to launch FSearch via your desktop environment’s keyboard settings.
  3. 3. Use the search box to locate the application you want to run and double‑click or press Enter to launch it.
  4. 4. For custom commands, create a script in a folder that is in your PATH and search for the script name in FSearch.
  5. 5. If you need calculation support, use a separate calculator application or the terminal.
