Applications

Launch applications.

Usage

NOTE: The applications plugin does not look for executables in your $PATH, it looks for desktop entries in standard locations (XDG_DATA_DIRS).

  // The terminal used for running terminal based desktop entries, if left as `None` a static list of terminals is used
