App menu with search option

#1 Post by Scorpion »

I am using Openbox , is there an app menu that allows you to see all the apps?
And search both the command and the description like for example firefox or browser.

vala-panel-runner, provided by vala-panel has a nice menu.

There is also j4-dmenu-desktop that currently I had to backport from sid on stable.

"runner" seems like https://github.com/jgmenu/jgmenu, it is now in testing only.
Those are similar to the openbox menu.

Nice I didn't know about Rofi.
