On by default / no keyword #40

Is it possible for fzf to be launched always and be merged with other searches, or is this not possible with this launcher ? I don't know if this is a silly question, sorry if it. I ask this since I've used other launchers (mainly on Windows and currently flow-launcher) and even krunner seemed to have the ability to do both. I wonder if this is possible here, but I am not sure if it is on the configuration of this plugin or something needs to be changed upstream. Thank you for your attention.

Hi @Muttsuri the architecture of ulauncher's extension framework relies on a created extension handling custom keywords, which is defaulted to fzf for this extension. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can help with here.

From http://docs.ulauncher.io/en/stable/extensions/intro.html

Extension API v2 (current) enables extension developers to write custom handlers for keywords. ... They cannot modify behaviour or look of Ulauncher app. They can only be used to handle an input that starts with a keyword, which extension developers define in a manifest file.
