Superkb

Keyboard-based task launcher with on-screen hints.

How it works

It works by activating by holding down a magic key, usually the Super_L/R keys, and displaying on-screen hints if held down for long enough.

Features

  • Designed not to get in your way, but still be helpful.
  • Unobtrusive on-screen hints.
  • Replayable magic key.
  • Mod-order independent: L+Super works the same as Super+L.
  • Configuration in plain text.
  • Toolkit independent.
  • Supports X11 keyboard geometries.
  • 3 different algorithms to render your keyboard.
  • Small memory footprint: 20 MB RES, 150 MB VIRT
  • Small disk footprint: 250 KB dynamic binary, 2.5 M static binary.

Installation

Fedora (included in distro)

  • Fedora users since F17 can install it directly using yum install superkb.

Ubuntu (manual compilation)

Debian (manual compilation)
