Fsel

by @Rikona_Kurasaki

Fsel –. a Rust TUI launcher, fuzzy picker and clipboard browser fsel is a terminal app launcher for Linux/*BSD. It also has a dmenu-style mode for piping arbitrary input through it, and a clipboard-history mode with text and image previews, I started it because I started using otterlauncher and needed a tui app laucnher bc otterlauncher was tui, i looked around and nothing was up to par, then i found Gyr, it was the closest thing but it needed sum work so i add the things I needed, and it eventually grew into fsel. its evolved to be more than an app launcher, i use the normal launcher mode for desktop apps, but I also use --dmenu for shell scripts, and it has --cclip for clipboard picker. It can also output selections or app data to stdout/JSON, preserve original indices for scripts, preview clipboard images in supported terminals, and the UI/keybinds/layout are configurable. A lot of the work lately has been making those modes behave consistently across weird Linux/Wayland setups and cleaning up ux.
