    bashrun description

    Application launcher for X11 using bash

    Bashrun is a simple application launcher for X11. It runs a bash session within a small xterm window, thus conveniently providing all the common bash features like readline, tab completion, and history.

    Optionally, in combination with xdotool, the terminal is kept running in the background, reducing startup time and saving system resources. A number of other common XTerminals like urxvt or mrxvt are also supported.

    What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

    · This is a minor bugfix release.
    · The install scripts now allow non-root installations.
    · The terminal-hold option avoids a resource wasting infinite loop and uses "read -n1" instead.
    · xdotool works more reliably by using the --clearmodifiers option.
    · The default configuration has been improved to make sure meta-keybindings and window resizing works out of the box for xterm.
