NAME

       fuzzel - display XDG applications in a searchable Wayland window

SYNOPSIS

       fuzzel [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

       fuzzel lists all available XDG applications in a searchable Window. The search box
       supports Emacs-like key bindings.

       Fuzzel uses the localized strings from the .desktop files by default. To disable this, run
       fuzzel with LC_MESSAGES=C.

       The window size, font and colors can be configured with fuzzel.ini(5) or command line
       options:

       --config=PATH
           Path to configuration file, see fuzzel.ini(5) for details.

       -o,--output=OUTPUT
           Specifies the monitor to display the window on. Autocompletion is available for zsh
           and fish, or you can list the available outputs with wlr-randr or with Sway using
           swaymsg -t get_outputs.

           Example: DP-1

           Default: Let the compositor choose output.

       -f,--font=FONT[,FALLBACK1,FALLBACK2,...]
           Comma separated list of primary font, and fallback fonts, in FontConfig format. See
           FONT FORMAT. Default: monospace.

       -D,--dpi-aware=no|yes|auto
           When set to yes, fonts are sized using the monitor's DPI, making a font of a given
           point size have the same physical size, regardless of monitor.

           In this mode, the monitor's scaling factor is ignored; doubling the scaling factor
           will not double the font size.

           When set to no, the monitor's DPI is ignored. The font is instead sized using the
           monitor's scaling factor; doubling the scaling factor does double the font size.

           Finally, if set to auto, fonts will be sized using the monitor's DPI if all monitors
           have a scaling factor of 1. If at least one monitor as a scaling factor larger than 1
           (regardless of whether the fuzzel window is mapped on that monitor or not), fonts will
           be scaled using the scaling factor.

           Note that this option typically does not work with bitmap fonts, which only contains a
           pre-defined set of sizes, and cannot be dynamically scaled. Whichever size (of the
           available ones) that best matches the DPI or scaling factor, will be used.

           Also note that if the font size has been specified in pixels (:pixelsize=N, instead of
           :size=N), DPI scaling (dpi-aware=yes) will have no effect (the specified pixel size
           will be used as is). But, if the monitor's scaling factor is used to size the font
           (dpi-aware=no), the font's pixel size will be multiplied with the scaling factor.

           Default: auto

       -p,--prompt=PROMPT
           Prompt to use. Default: > .

       -i
           Ignored; for compatibility with other, similar utilities (where -i means "case
           insensitive search").

       --icon-theme=NAME
           Icon theme to use. Note that this option is case sensitive; the name must match the
           theme's folder name.

           Example: Adwaita.

           Default: hicolor.

       -I,--no-icons
           Do not render any icons.

       -F,--fields=FIELDS
           Comma separated list of XDG Desktop entry fields to match against:

           •   filename: the .desktop file's filename
           •   name: the application's name (title)
           •   generic: the application's generic name
           •   exec: the applications's executable, as specified in the desktop file. Note: may
               include command line options as well.
           •   keywords: the application's keywords
           •   categories: the application's categories
           •   comment: the application's comment

           Default: filename,name,generic

       --password=[CHARACTER]
           Password input. Render all typed text as CHARACTER. If CHARACTER is omitted, a * will
           be used.

       -T,--terminal=TERMINAL ARGS
           Command to launch XDG applications with the property Terminal=true (htop, for
           example). Example: xterm -e. Default: not set.

       -l,--lines=COUNT
           The (maximum) number of matches to display. This dictates the window height. Default:
           15.

       -w,--width
           Window width, in characters. Margins and borders not included. Default: 30.

       --tabs=COUNT
           Number of spaces a tab is expanded to. Default: 8.

       -x,--horizontal-pad=PAD
           Horizontal padding between border and icons and text. In pixels, subject to output
           scaling. Default: 40.

       -y,--vertical-pad=PAD
           Vertical padding between border and text. In pixels, subject to output scaling.
           Default: 8.

       -P,--inner-pad=PAD
           Vertical padding between prompt and match list. In pixels, subject to output scaling.
           Default: 0.

       -b,--background=HEX
           Background color. See COLORS. Default: fdf6e3dd.

       -t,--text-color=HEX
           Text color. See COLORS. Default: 657b83ff.

       -m,--match-color=HEX
           The color of matching substring(s). As you start typing in the search box, the
           matching part in each application's name is highlighted with this color. See COLORS.
           Default: cb4b16ff.

       -s,--selection-color=HEX
           The color to use as background of the currently selected application. See COLORS.
           Default: eee8d5dd.

       -S,--selection-text-color=HEX
           The text color of the currently selected application. See COLORS. Default: 657b83ff.

       -M,--selection-match-color=HEX
           The color of matching substring(s) of the currently selected application. As you start
           typing in the search box, the matching part in each application's name is highlighted
           with this color. See COLORS. Default: cb4b16ff.

       -B,--border-width=INT
           The width of the surrounding border, in pixels (subject to output scaling). Default:
           1.

       -r,--border-radius=INT
           The corner curvature, subject to output scaling. Larger means more rounded corners. 0
           disables rounded corners. Default: 10.

       -C,--border-color=HEX
           The color of the border. See COLORS. Default: 002b36ff.

       --show-actions
           Include desktop actions in the list. Desktop actions are alternative actions some
           desktop entries have. Examples include "New Window", "New Document", etc.

       --filter-desktop=[no]
           Filter the visible desktop entries based on the value of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. If the
           optional parameter is "no", explicitly disables filtering.

       --no-fuzzy
           Disables fuzzy matching. When disabled, only exact (case insensitive) substring
           matches are considered.

       --fuzzy-min-length=VALUE
           Search strings shorter than this will not by fuzzy matched. Default: 3.

       --fuzzy-max-length-discrepancy=VALUE
           Maximum allowed length difference between the search string, and a fuzzy match. Larger
           values result in more fuzzy matches. Default: 2.

       --fuzzy-max-distance=VALUE
           Maximum allowed levenshtein distance between the search string, and a fuzzy match.
           Larger values result in more fuzzy matches. Default: 1.

       --line-height=HEIGHT
           Override line height from font metrics. In points by default, but can be specified as
           pixels by appending 'px' (i.e. --line-height=16px). Default: not set.

       --letter-spacing=AMOUNT
           Additional space between letters. In points by default, but can be specified as pixels
           by appending 'px' (i.e. letter-spacing=5px). Negative values are supported. Default:
           0.

       --layer=top|overlay
           Which layer to render the fuzzel window on. Valid values are top and overlay.

           top renders above normal windows, but typically below fullscreen windows and lock
           screens.

           overlay renders on top of both normal windows and fullscreen windows. Note that the
           order is undefined if several windows use the same layer. Since e.g. lock screens
           typically use overlay, that means fuzzel may or may not appear on top of a lock
           screen.

           Default: top

       --no-exit-on-keyboard-focus-loss
           Do not exit when losing keyboard focus. This can be useful on compositors where
           enabling "focus-follows-mouse" causes fuzzel to exit as soon as the mouse is moved
           over another window. Sway (at least up to, and including 1.7) exhibits this behavior.

       --launch-prefix=COMMAND
           Command to launch XDG applications with. If set, fuzzel will pass the Desktop File ID
           of the chosen application (see the Desktop Entry specification) in the
           FUZZEL_DESKTOP_FILE_ID environment variables.  Example: swaymsg exec --. Default: not
           set.

       -d,--dmenu
           dmenu compatibility mode. In this mode, the list entries are read from stdin (newline
           separated). The selected entry is printed to stdout. If the input string does not
           match any of the entries, the input string is printed as is on stdout.

           Alternatively, you can symlink the fuzzel binary to dmenu. Fuzzel will then start in
           dmenu mode, without the --dmenu argument.

           Fuzzel also supports icons, using Rofi's extended dmenu protocol. To set an icon for
           an entry, append \0icon\x1f<icon-name>. Example:

               echo -en "Firefox\0icon\x1ffirefox" | fuzzel --dmenu

       --dmenu0
           Like --dmenu, but input is NUL separated instead of newline separated. Note that in
           this mode, icons are not supported.

       --index
           Print selected entry's index instead of its text. dmenu mode only.

       -R,--no-run-if-empty
           Exit immediately, without showing the UI, if stdin is empty. dmenu mode only.

       --log-level={info,warning,error,none}
           Log level, used both for log output on stderr as well as syslog. Default: info.

       --log-colorize=[{never,always,auto}]
           Enables or disables colorization of log output on stderr.

       --log-no-syslog
           Disables syslog logging. Logging is only done on stderr.

       -v,--version
           Show the version number and quit

CONFIGURATION

       fuzzel will search for a configuration file in the following locations, in this order:

           •   XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fuzzel/fuzzel.ini (defaulting to ~/.config/fuzzel/fuzzel.ini if
               unset)
           •   XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/fuzzel/fuzzel.ini (defaulting to /etc/xdg/fuzzel/fuzzel.ini if
               unset)

       An example configuration file containing all options with their default value commented
       out will usually be installed to /etc/xdg/fuzzel/fuzzel.ini.

       For more information, see fuzzel.ini(5).

FONT FORMAT

       The font is specified in FontConfig syntax. That is, a colon-separated list of font name
       and font options.

       Examples:
       •   Dina:weight=bold:slant=italic
       •   Arial:size=12

COLORS

       All colors must be specified as a RGBA quadruple, in hex format, without a leading '0x'.

       EXAMPLES:
       •   white: ffffffff (no transparency)
       •   black: 000000ff (no transparency)
       •   black: 00000010 (semi-transparent)
       •   red: ff0000ff (no transparency)

       The default color scheme is Solarized.

FILES

       $XDG_CACHE_HOME/fuzzel
           Stores a list of applications and their launch count. This allows fuzzel to sort
           frequently launched applications at the top.

       $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/fuzzel-$WAYLAND_DISPLAY.lock
           Lock file, used to prevent multiple fuzzel instances from running at the same time.
