Plotinus – A searchable command palette in every modern GTK+ application

It is available in Arch. I got it to compile on Ubuntu without much hassle. On Nix, it is available but install conflicted with another package. Didn't look into it further.

Keybind is already in use for some Gtk+ applications (Firefox IIRC), and it also makes it painful how some apps I use are not Gtk+ but say Qt... which makes me wonder if there's a thing like this for Qt?

Huh. I was sort of under the impression that nix was supposed to make that impossible.

I suppose improbable rather than impossible.

Here is the error:

Most of this is certainly possible with Qt. KDE Plasma ships with a global menu and Qt >= 5.7 exports its menus to DBus, so that covers those. As for other UI elements (buttons, etc.) I'm not sure - I've seen it done through dll* injection, but I don't know it there's a cleaner way.
