floating-terminal

#!/bin/sh

# This is the terminal program that term-dmenu runs. Some examples:
# alacritty --class launcher -e "$@"
# kitty --class launcher "$@"
# These examples give the window the "launcher" class so you can make your window
# manager float anything with class "launcher"

# I use havoc (https://github.com/ii8/havoc) for my launchers because it starts up
# super quickly and is Wayland-native.
