I'm looking for a working alternative to Albert or Rofi in Windows. It seems there are several dead projects like Cerebro that integrate with tools like Everything.
Crucially, it must be extensible so I can add domain specific plugins. Ideally I'd be able to reuse code between Windows and Linux, but I don't see any cross platform ones, so maybe it'll need shims.
- YXNjaGVyZWdlbgo 5y agodevelopment is slow but the dev is reachable and the tool does its job https://www.listary.com/ https://www.listary.com/
- avtar 5y agohttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/run https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/run It’s open source so you could try suggesting or adding features.
- jamesgeck0 5y agoPowerToys Run is a great idea with some awful jank. One of the best things about Alfred is that it appears instantly when I hit the shortcut, every time. PowerToys Run just... don't appear sometimes. Or appears several seconds late.
- keithnz 5y agoweird, I use it a lot and it always seems super snappy for me
- toastercat 5y agoBest one I've found is https://keypirinha.com/ https://keypirinha.com/ which can be expanded via Python plugins (if I remember correctly). It also have Everything integration.
- adhesive_wombat 5y agoThe closed source core of that tool really makes me go "hmm". It's free, so does that mean my searches are being monetised somehow?
