Plotinus is a GTK+ 3 module that adds a searchable command palette (like Sublime Text's) to any modern GTK+ application, invoked with Ctrl+Shift+P. It introspects running applications to extract available commands without requiring any modification to the applications themselves.
Use cases
- add a command palette to GTK applications
- search and run menu actions by typing a few letters
- make GNOME apps faster to use with keyboard-only workflows
- discover hidden commands in Linux desktop applications
- bring Sublime Text-style command palette to the whole Linux desktop
When to choose
- you use GTK+ 3 applications on Linux and want fast keyboard-driven command access
- you want command palette functionality without modifying or recompiling applications
- you prefer keyboard-driven navigation over clicking through menus
When to avoid
- you use Qt, Electron, or non-GTK applications
- you need a maintained solution - the project has had no releases since 2021
- you are uncomfortable setting GTK3_MODULES environment variables system-wide
