🎀 NAME 🎀

lxqt-runner — the app launcher module of LXQt, aka the Lightweight Desktop Environment. she's little, she's fast, she launches things 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lxqt-runner

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no drama, just run her 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: this module lets you launch literally any application just by typing the shortcut you configured. iconic behavior, no cap 👑

and she doesn't stop there, because she also gives you quick access to logout, shutdown and other functions — one-stop shop energy fr fr.

oh and there's a calculator built in too, because why not 🧮 like, you can just type:

2*4+10/2=

and she'll do the math for you. main character with range 💜

---

🦋 BEHAVIOR 🦋

as you type, suggestions will appear ✨ (yes, live, as you go, she's paying attention to you)

once the application you wish to run shows up, you can navigate to it using the mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard — dealer's choice, both slay 🎀

then pressing Enter or clicking it launches the application. boom. done. 💥

and if you wanna change the activation shortcut? you can do that by the configuration menu, by lxqt-globalkeyshortcuts (X11), or in the compositor (Wayland). pick your lane 🌈

---

🌟 AUTOSTART 🌟

quick note bestie: this module is only shown in the LXQt desktop environment by default. BUT — and this is the good part — you can use it in other desktop environments too, just by adding it to autostart. she's flexible like that 💖
