Launcher

Three keys under [launcher] change what the search field answers and where it opens.

Key	Type	Default	Notes
launcher.actions	bool	true	An app’s own actions are rows once two letters are typed
launcher.commands	bool	true	Kanade’s own commands are rows once two letters of their name are typed; pressing one runs it
launcher.style	island | detached	island	detached opens it in a window of its own, centred on the focused output

[launcher]
actions = true
commands = true
style = "island"

A command row shows only while its Module is on, and the commands come from a closed table that takes no typed text: caffeine, screenshot area, lock, dictate and the like.

kanade launcher toggle
kanade launcher open

Note

kanade dmenu reads lines from stdin into the Launcher and prints the one pressed; it is refused while the launcher Module is off, as is the Surface.
