Izvor (Launcher)
universal launcher for GNU/Linux desktops, written in Python 3 and using a GTK 3 interface.
The default search engines are located at Izvor Modules.
Features
Search anything on your device and more: applications, files, run commands and more
Fully modular (every search engine is a separate Python module), engines are easy to write
Asynchronous; results are delivered when they become available
Native look and feel using GTK+, no stupid WWW GUI or hacker styling like half of the launchers out there; of course, it respects your GTK theme
User modules are as easy to access as standard ones; no need to prefix your queries
Fully keyboard-operable, but still usable with mouse; choose your preferred input method
Plugins are configured using JSON
Libre (GPLv3)
Meaning of the name
"Izvor" is a Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, Bulgarian and Macedonian word meaning "source". This reflects the launcher's ability to bring you search results from many sources.
It is pronounced as "Eez-vor" with the accent as in "Izvōr", not "Īzvor".
