Description David Rosenstrauch 2009-11-19 16:00:04 CET
It would be nice to have a xfce4-popup-launcher app, that performs functionality similar to the other xfce4-popup-* apps.

This would make it possible to set a keyboard shortcut for opening a launcher menu, and would be a nice efficient timesaver.

Seems to me this wouldn't be very hard to do.  Only complication I can think of here is that since it's possible to have multiple launchers in your panel, 2 small additional pieces of functionality would be needed:

1) an enhancement to the launcher config GUI whereby you could specify a name for the launcher instance, and 

2) the ability to pass a launcher instance name into this "xfce4-popup-launcher" app - e.g.:  "xfce4-popup-launcher launcher1", "xfce4-popup-launcher launcher2", etc.

Anyone else out there think this would be worthwhile and/or easy to do?

Devel panel will have support for this. You can popup a launcher by running this command: xfce4-panel --plugin-event=launcher:popup:bool:true, this will popup the first launcher with a menu on the panel. you can also popup a specific launcher menu by for example sending launcher-8:popup:...
