flatjump

This is a very simple script that tries to mimic the excellent jumpapp for flatpak applications.

The usage is simply:

flatjump <NAME> [<SEARCH-EXPR>]

For example:

flatjump slack

The script will search for an open flatpak application with the given name (case-insensitive).

• If found, it will be focused.
• If not, a new instance will be opened.

To prevent confusion between open applications that contain <NAME> in the title, you can give an optional <SEARCH-EXPR> (case-insensitive) to be used when searching through all open windows.

Setup

Simply clone the repo and run the script:

git clone https://github.com/ceranco/flatjump.git
cd flatjump
./flatjump <NAME>

If you want to use the script in a shortcut, the easiest way is to symlink the script to /usr/bin/:

ln -s /home/ceranco/projects/flatjump/flatjump /usr/bin/flatjump

and then simply use it in the shortcut: flatjump <NAME>
