Start up

Start uLauncher and type rm.
To search type rm -> name of the package or using arrows, enter to delete.

Scrolling(kinda)

To "scroll" type rm -> write number to show packages further down.

Preferences for download repositories

Currently

• No success prompt
• Sudo prompts for every package, exits uLauncher

Development

Git clone this repo.

In repo folder do make link to create symlink to ulauncher extensions folder.

Close uLauncher and run make dev and follow instructions in terminal.

You will get code that looks something like this:

 VERBOSE=1 ULAUNCHER_WS_API=ws://127.0.0.1:5054/com.github.dankni95.ulauncher-remove-arch-packages PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages /bin/python /home/daniel/.local/share/ulauncher/extensions/com.github.dankni95.ulauncher-remove-arch-packages/main.py

Paste it in new terminal window and run keyword rm in uLauncher. Happy coding!
