#Features:

• Wayland native
• Rofi drun-like mode of operation
• dmenu mode where newline separated entries are read from stdin
• Emacs key bindings
• Icons!
• Remembers frequently launched applications

#Limitations:

• No themes (but you can configure font and colors)

#Requirements

#Runtime

• pixman
• wayland (client and cursor libraries)
• xkbcommon
• cairo (optional)
• libpng (optional)
• librsvg (optional)
• fcft [^1]

[^1]: can also be built as subprojects, in which case they are statically linked.

#Building

• meson
• ninja
• wayland protocols
• scdoc
• tllist [^1]

#Installation

To build, first, create a build directory, and switch to it:

mkdir -p bld/release && cd bld/release

Second, configure the build (if you intend to install it globally, you might also want --prefix=/usr):

meson --buildtype=release \
    -Denable-cairo=disabled|enabled|auto \
    -Dpng-backend=none|libpng \
    -Dsvg-backend=none|librsvg|nanosvg \
    ../..

-D{png,svg}-backend can be used to force-enable or force-disable a specific png and/or svg backend. Note that nanosvg is builtin (i.e. it needs to external dependencies).

-Denable-cairo can be used to force-enable or force-disable cairo support. When disabled, fuzzel will not be able to draw rounded corners, nor will it support SVGs using the librsvg backend.

Three, build it:

ninja

You can now run it directly from the build directory:

./fuzzel

Use command line arguments to configure the look-and-feel:

./fuzzel --help

Optionally, install it:

ninja install

For more detailed configuration information, see the man page:

man fuzzel
