Lancelot

... in my own idiom

Lancelot is an experimental launcher menu designed to provide a place from which all your jobs begin. It provides quick access to applications, places, documents, contacts and system information.

Features

  • No-click interface that allows you to navigate through the menu, and start any application just by moving the mouse - without making a single click;
  • Arranging the items in the menu depending on the position of the menu button which activates it, so that the most used categories appear nearest to the mouse;
  • Integrated KRunner into the menu itself, so there is no more need for using two completely different applications that have basically the same purpose, but different approaches;
  • Put the parts of the Lancelot menu that you use the most directly on your desktop or panel.
  • Have Plasma applets inside the menu. (yes, you could have a clock inside the menu as well - since Lancelot is based on Plasma, Lancelot itself is all about clocks too :) )

Why?

If you are wondering why there is a need for yet another launching interface, you can find a more detailed answer in the FAQ section.

People

At the moment, I (Ivan Čukić) am the only developer behind this project. Obviously, there are a lot of people involved indirectly - from other Plasma developers, to people who helped me find the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Contact

You can sometimes find me on IRC (#plasma chanel) under a very obscure nickname - ivan_cukic. Don't be confused if someone greets me with "Hi, Mr Lancelot"... it happens sometimes.
