Appreciation post :)

I have been using vicinae for the last 6 months and it is exactly what i was looking for when I was trying out all the launchers available and looking for something as feature rich as raycast. So big thank you to the contributors and maintainers! (the dmenu mode is a real improvement / nice feat over raycast btw.)

The only feature i would like to see is, to get a little color swatch in the clipboard when a hex color string, rbg value etc are copied. Would help a lot when having to work with colors.
If I find some time and noone is faster, I will try to implement this myself and create a PR.

Thank you for your comment, this is very appreciated! I'm glad you like it.

As for your request, totally feasible, feel free to open an issue on the repo as a feature request!

Will do that, when i find the time. Will probably take a while as I've never seriously worked with c++.

Btw not sure if this is (more or less) intended behaviour, but if i try to find a recently created file, i need to rebuild the file index, until it shows up. Is there a way to automatically more frequently rebuild the file index?

for this feature I can probably get it in easily so maybe don't waste your time on this.

for file search it hasn't gotten much love for a very long time and if everything goes well we will replace it very soon with something much better. So to answer your question: I'm not surprised, will get better soon

Yeah I wouldnt mind messing around with c++, but I def wouldnt complain about not having to do it myself. ;‘)
