Installing PyCharm

#1 Post by pawRoot »

Hi

I am trying to install PyCharm Community Edition, the thing is that it's like with Firefox, you can just unpack
the archive and run the .sh file, but i want to be able to run it with dmenu in i3wm, and if possible also bind it
to a key.

Any ideas? :wink:

I just create a .desktop file and then attach it wherever I need to, it used to place a desktop file itself for use in most menus but I noticed that it doesn't do that now.
I'm not familiar with i3wm menu structure but I'm sure it shouldn't be too difficult to add an item...

I believe that dmenu doesn't work with .desktop files.

According to this post
i3-dmenu-desktop is a script which extracts the (localized) name from application .desktop files, offers the user a choice via dmenu(1) and then starts the chosen application via i3 (for startup notification support).
So maybe you could install (if you haven't already) i3-dmenu-desktop to get this functionality.
