About

Shortcut is a tool that allows users to quickly pin executable files to their app launcher. It guides users throught the process by providing file picker dialogs with relevant filters, input validation, and name and icon previews.

  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • Wayland display
    --socket=wayland
