fp
An Easier Way to Launch Flatpaks
PURPOSE
Flatpak requires a "reverse-DNS style" naming scheme for applications. This is due to "security concerns".
The side-effect is that launching apps is difficult to remeber and tedious to type.
DETAILS
fp uses flatpak run and extended regex to search and run the matching flatpak.
Template
$ fp <package_name>
$ fp <package_name> <$2>
Example
$ fp vlc
$ fp vlc --help
Comments
- The Flatpak naming scheme allows case-insenstive names. This has caused some complexity.
- Currently only lower case stdin is functional.
