✨ SUPERKB(1) ✨

okay so bestie, this is the man page for superkb — it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and honestly? she's iconic. let's get into it 💅

💖 NAME 💖

superkb — a graphical keyboard launcher, but make it ✨on-screen hints✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

superkb [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: Superkb is a keyboard-based application launcher. It runs on a hotkey — the Super key by default, iykyk — and here's the main character move: if you hold that hotkey long enough without actually triggering any bound action, it'll pop up on-screen keyboard hints for you. 🫶

And the hints? They show up as icons arranged in a keyboard, which is lowkey genius and highkey gorgeous. ✨

For config, it's giving layered:

  • System-wide configuration lives at /etc/superkbrc
  • ...and you can extend it with your own user-specific changes at $HOME/.superkbrc

So the system sets the baseline, and you get to sprinkle your own personal flair on top. Obsessed. 💜

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -0 — Quits as soon as Superkb is ready. Handy for timing and debugging, no cap. ⏱️
  • -d level — Shows debug messages up to the verbosity level you specify. Turn it up for the tea. 🍵
  • -h — Shows this help. Your girl's got your back. 🙈
  • -v — Shows the program version. 💅
