Need: Navigating Windows with a keyboard / a Windows Search that doesn’t suck.
Fluent Search does a lot of things, but at its core it aims to make you reach for your mouse less.
The most obvious competitor is the Windows Start Menu or other launcher-type apps like Listary, but I haven’t used the Windows alternatives too much. I’ll say that it’s much more powerful than KRunner or ULauncher on Linux though.
Features:
Search for lots of things on a quickly summoned search window:
Apps
Open windows / processes (will change focus / virtual Desktop to the Window selected)
Chromium Bookmarks (open in Browser)
Chromium Tabs (will change focus to browser and click tab)
common ui-elements in focused application
the web with a search engine of your choice
clipboard
Use the search bar for related tasks like
Calculate
Execute commands in a terminal like cmd,powershell,bash
With a shortcut, spawn identifiers for clickable object on screen—enter the identifier to click
(In order not to use the mouse)
The developer is highly active, and I’m impressed by his speed and skill. This app has made me like interacting with Windows. That was a first. I don’t launch apps / search the web in any other way anymore.
