| About kupfer |
a convenient command and access tool, for Gnome
Kupfer is a command tool heavily inspired by Quicksilver; you do not use it to search your files, you use it to summon an application or document quickly by typing the first parts of its name.
Kupfer is written using Python and has a flexible architecture. Objects that it can access are implemented in plugins, and new plugins can be written quickly.
The philosophy of Kupfer is simplicity. The implementation is simple, makes the easy things work first, and does not overdesign unnecessary parts of the program.
The 'kupfer' command launches kupfer, or spawns it if it is already running. To use keybindings directly with kupfer, you have to install the python module python-keybinder. See http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer/ for more details.
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.14+.
Other dependencies include:
Python 2.5, Intltool (build)
Python modules: glib/gtk/gio, dbus, xdg, python-keybinder
Recommended: wnck, cjson, gvfs
