Customizing fzf output #38

Open davla opened 3 years ago

davla commented 3 years ago

As I described in #37, I'm using sway-launcher-desktop to display clipman's clipboard history. In such scenario, I'd like to have a bigger preview window than just two lines, and possibly also a border. Would it make sense to add some fzf configuration options, maybe in the providers file?

There are plans to add a config file that would allow greater customization of (especially) fzf. There's some early talk in #30 but sadly, neither me or @itspngu have had the time to follow up on it.

Hey :)

I actually had a usecase where I'd like to display the time and some basic system info in the launcher, but never followed up on that. It seems we concluded in #30 that coming up with some kind of "configuration in a sourceable bash script" would be the best approach.

It's been a hot while since that PR and to be perfectly fair I don't really have an urgent need for that feature, so I kind of forgot about it. If you'd fancy giving it a stab @davla, surely a lot of people would appreciate that! :)

I'm totally not an fzfexpert, I actually never used it before sway-launcher-desktop. Heard about it, but I never went all the way in to actually install it. But if it's not urgent, I can definitely try to come up with something given enough time
