This package provides counsel-osx-app function which is inspired by
counsel-linux-app.
In order to use counsel-osx-app simply call counsel-osx-app function. It
will allow you to select an app to launch using ivy completion. Optionally one
can select any file to edit in selected application via ivy actions.
By default counsel-osx-app searches for applications in /Applications
directory, but it’s configurable via counsel-osx-app-location variable. It can be
either string representing root location for all applications or list of such
strings.
The last configurable thing (but not least) is command for launching
application. Please refer to counsel-osx-app-launch-cmd for more information.
Although the name of this package is counsel-osx-app, it’s not restricted to
OSX only. One can easily tune it to run under Linux (not sure about Windows).
Just make sure to configure described variables and change implementation of
counsel-osx-app-list function. PRs are welcome on making this package
cross-platform.
- Initial implementation.
- Use friendlier completion names (thanks to @vermiculus).
