hillaryychan / ulauncher-fzf Goto Github PK

Good day, I installed the extension for ulauncher from the ulauncher site and found this github site, I'm creating an issue as I have installed fzf from its own github and is working but ulauncher's extension is not detecting it, any help is much appreciated

im on debian 12 stable, xfce, gnome dark prof theme

Thank you

I really enjoy using this extension (great work!), but would like to ignore searching some directories and not sure what ".gitignore format" means when you say to "Specify path to ignore-file in '.gitignore' format", Could you provide a few examples of what the format looks like if you want to ignore:

1. one file
2. more than one file
3. one directory
4. more than one directory

Is it possible for fzf to be launched always and be merged with other searches, or is this not possible with this launcher ?
I don't know if this is a silly question, sorry if it.
I ask this since I've used other launchers (mainly on Windows and currently flow-launcher) and even krunner seemed to have the ability to do both. I wonder if this is possible here, but I am not sure if it is on the configuration of this plugin or something needs to be changed upstream.
Thank you for your attention.

Hi, I wanted to try this but I couldn't make it work:

$ ulauncher
Traceback (most recent call last):

Works like a charm now. Thank you for fixing this so fast and also for this beautiful extension! This is exactly what I was looking for. :)

Do you know by any chance, if/how I can make ulauncher output more than 15 results?

Allow users to define custom number of search results for the extension

It doesn't work for me, unfortunately (uLauncher 5.14.3). All I get after typing in "fzf" is "Loading...".

I tried different settings, including choosing a different start folder, excluding files, only searching for directories, ... Nothing helps, though.

Anything I could do to debug? I've installed all the dependencies.

Hi, should be nice to have an option(similar to hidden files) to pass --follow to fd and follow symbolic links.
Thanks

The extension works correctly for me, but there's a 3-5 second delay between typing in the query and seeing the results. If I use fzf on the command line from the same directory with the same query, it's blazingly fast. Help?

After reading and installing the requirements on the GitHub page.... it works! 😃 👍

Please put a little reminder on the extension description page that one should install those tools first. (I'm a coder, but I'm intentionally doing this from a users' perspective)

Make it clear that fzf and fd should be installed for extension to be used on https://ext.ulauncher.io/-/github-hillaryychan-ulauncher-fzf

The uLauncher-fzf extension is great! I agree with many others here that this functionality should be rolled into uLauncher by default.

Not sure if this is a feature request or simply a setup question (setting a config file or creating some strategic symlinks perhaps?), but is there any way I can expand the search beyond the home directory?

For regulatory compliance reasons I'm required to keep a subset of my files on a separate LUKS partition. I'd love to be able to access the files using uLauncher-fzf if at all possible.

Thanks!

Opening a file or directory are definitely the most important features, but I would find it very useful to have a way to copy the highlighted file path. Sometimes you just need to find some file and paste its path somewhere.
