Fly-Pie is a GNOME Shell extension that provides marking (pie) menus opened via keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, or touch input. It can launch applications, simulate hotkeys, open URLs, and paste clipboard items through radial menus with point-and-click, marking, and turbo selection modes.

Use cases

  • launch applications from a radial pie menu on GNOME
  • simulate keyboard shortcuts with mouse gestures
  • open URLs quickly from a marking menu
  • paste recent clipboard items via a menu
  • use a launcher designed for mouse-first one-handed workflows
  • add touch-screen and tablet-friendly menus to GNOME Shell

When to choose

  • you use GNOME Shell on Linux and want a gesture-driven radial menu launcher
  • you mostly work with one hand on the mouse rather than keyboard-only
  • you want touch, pen, and multi-cursor support for menus on Wayland or X11

When to avoid

  • you need a keyboard-only launcher (tools like kupfer fit better)
  • you are not using GNOME Shell
  • you want a cross-platform menu tool - consider the author's successor Kando instead
