Hey, i have started using cachy os from fedora and its too good.
I chose to download hyprland as my desktop manager and things are smooth.
But, i want to customize the keybindings for app launches and i need help to set it up.
Unlike flathub where i can use the flatpak run command in the config file to run at that particular shortcut, how can i do it with octopi installer?
Basically, how can I launch a package installed from octopi on terminal?
(if this question look stupid forgive me, i am new in this)
you seem to want to figure out what command to run for a given installed package to launch it. this may vary for some packages, but here are some examples which should give you hints:
- most packages come with an executable named like the package itself
- package thunderbird: just run it with
thunderbird
- package thunderbird: just run it with
- maybe the executable needs to be called in some specific form
- package octopi: if you just run it with
octopi
it tells you should call it with/usr/bin/octopi
- package octopi: if you just run it with
- when the executable isn’t named after the package you can figure it out with octopi
- package librewolf-bin:
-
via octopi: find the
bin
folder in the files tab and look for promising files
-
via pacman: list files for a package and filter for contents of
bin
directories
-
- package librewolf-bin:
> pacman -Ql librewolf-bin | grep -P "bin/.+"
librewolf-bin /usr/bin/librewolf
- packages may have a terminal/ gui mode … assuming you want to run the gui mode:
- package timeshift:
- find executables first
- package timeshift:
> pacman -Ql timeshift | grep -P "bin/.+"
timeshift /usr/bin/timeshift
timeshift /usr/bin/timeshift-gtk
timeshift /usr/bin/timeshift-launcher
* try which one works for launching the gui mode: here it's `timeshift-launcher`
- gui mode may also be activated via command line switch: try
$PACKAGE_NAME --help
orman $PACKAGE_NAME
and figure out which options to use
For me, that is the only benefit of Octopi.
Thanks!!
I am using hyprland. So, I need this to set keybindings.
