> Is there such a thing as a TUI launcher out there? Something that allows fuzzy search of program names, tags and a short description (using something akin to .desktop files for the application metadata). Then, when I suddenly need a program for a certain task, I don't have to hope I memorized the correct command. I just open my TUI launcher, type something related to my task and get a list of some TUIs that could help.

    $ apropos -a data term
    fidentify (8)        - Determine file type using PhotoRec database
    Pod::Text::Termcap (3perl) - Convert POD data to ASCII text with format escapes
    sql (1)              - execute a command on a database determined by a dburl
    termcap (5)          - terminal capability database
    terminfo (5)         - terminal capability data base
    tput (1)             - initialize a terminal or query terminfo database
    vd (1)               - a terminal utility for exploring and arranging tabular data
    visidata (1)         - a terminal utility for exploring and arranging tabular data
