💅 lxshortcut — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to lxshortcut(1) from the lxshortcut manual — yes, the section 1 one, we're doing this ✨

✨ NAME ✨

lxshortcut — desktop entry file editor 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxshortcut [ -i input-file ] [ -o output-file ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so lxshortcut is literally the simplest little app ever — it pops open the LibFM file properties dialog window and lets you change the properties of a desktop entry. icon, display name, path, arguments of execution, all of it. it's giving "GUI wrapper and it knows it" 💅 no cap.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

okay so real talk: at least one option should be specified, that's the vibe check. and if output-file isn't specified, then input-file gets used to make the result — either as a full path, or as a path in the XDG specified user data directory for menu entries. iykyk 🫶

  • -i input-file, --input=input-file — use input-file as the source for editing. it can be some XDG menu entry (if you don't give a full path, that's how it gets found) or a custom path to some file you made yourself. main character energy either way 👑
  • -o output-file, --output=output-file — write the result into output-file. that's it, that's the whole job 🎀
