Note: Apart from the occasional fix, this project is not actively developed anymore. rrun works fine and should run/compile for the time being on rust stable. Alternatives to rrun are gmrun and rofi. Feel free to fork, request ownership or commit pull requests.
rrun is a minimalistic command launcher in rust similar to gmrun. It started as a playground to learn Rust, but since i use it all day for months now, it's probably useful for others as well. It replaced gmrun and gnome-do on my laptop. rrun has few features, it can do bash completion and run commands and that's it. It will also append the commands being run to your bash history.

Dependencies """"""""""""
GTK3.10+
Installation """"""""""""
You have several options:
Usage """""
Set up rrun as command helper on Capslock """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
I have mapped the unused, needless CapsLock key to some other key and set up Gnome or whatever (i3wm in my case) to launch rrun on keypress.
My ~/.Xmodmap::
remove Lock = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = XF86HomePage
Don't forget to run "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" after login.
The relevant parts of ~/.i3/config::
bindsym XF86HomePage exec rrun for_window [title="rrun"] floating enable exec --no-startup-id xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
How to build the package """"""""""""""""""""""""
Creation of a cowbuilder image ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
The build process needs pbuilder/cowbuilder installed in debian (apt-get install cowbuilder pbuilder). A Debian testing buid image can be created with::
sudo cowbuilder --create --distribution testing
Eatmydata Installation ''''''''''''''''''''''
Install eatmydata (on build machine and in the image) to speeding up dpkg (from https://wiki.debian.org/cowbuilder ):
On the build machine::
apt-get install eatmydata
In the build image::
sudo cowbuilder --login --save apt-get install eatmydata
For eatmydata (>=82-2), add this /etc/pbuilderrc (on the build machine)::
if [ -z "$LD_PRELOAD" ]; then LD_PRELOAD=libeatmydata.so else LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD":libeatmydata.so fi
export LD_PRELOAD
Package Build Process '''''''''''''''''''''
The debian package can be built with the following commands:
make deb
just creates the .deb file without touching the changelogmake snapshot
creates a snapshot .deb without incrementing the version number (but updating the changelog)make release
creates a new release and bumps the minor version numberContributors """"""""""""
