add duck duck go via !dd

if current search string results in only 1 result,

• the text should be autocompleted
• autocompleted text and last critical char for this autocomplete should be marked.

add ui screenshot to readme

should add a screenshot of the main ui to the readme

Internet search plugins - add google image

add google image search via !gi

global hotkey to trigger main window

a global hotkey to trigger the main UI is a must.

Right now left-clicking the tray icon toggles the main-ui already

add flickr via !fl

Prefs - user should be able to enable and disable plugins

Users should be able to enable and/or disable single plugins

Add more session plugin commands

should add

• logout
• shutdown
• reboot

GTK vs WX mess

It seems critical to use both GTK and WX. Depending on the OS it might result in crashes

add color support for debug output

would be nice to have color support in the debug output (tools.py)

tray icon should toggle visibility of main window

left clicking the tray icon should either show or hide the main window

enhance readability of debug output

should make the debug output more readable

• remove app name
• remove debug output string
• force columns if possible

internet-search plugin - add ask ubuntu

ask ubuntu would be great as well - uing !au

internet search plugin | empty searchword

if searchphrase is empty - then apparat should just open the default url of the related page.

Hide UI after execution a command

• the main ui should hide itself after executing a command
• could be a config-setting

Prefs - Statistics tab should show stats

The stats tab is a dummy so far, while the ini contains the stats data already.

Prefs - Enable and Disable debug output via commandline

• User should be able to configure (enable/disable) debug output if script is started from cli
• Preferences -> General tab
• Valueshould be stored in .ini

instance check on startup is broken

the check if there is already an instance running while starting apparat is no longer working. Needs a fix.

Internet search plugins - add tumblr

via !tu

Make icon-size changeable via preferences

the icon_size should be represented and changeable from within the prefs-window.

right now it is handled via config.py

Internet-search - add mixcloud

• add another search plugin
• http://fontawesome.io/icon/mixcloud/

Plugin - Nautilus !goto - Add support for ~

~ should work as part of path

ESC should hide main-window if it is resetted already

if the mainwindow was resetted already using ESC-ke and ESC is pressed again - the main-window should get hidden.

Internet search plugin - add facebook support

add facebook support via !fb

creating screenshots

would be helpful if apparat could generate full screen screenshots by himself.

Internet search plugins - add google news

add google news via !gn

search is case-sensitive

it seems like currently the search-string is handled case-sensitive - while it shouldnt in most cases.

Example:

• search for 'Firefox' should find 'firefox'

Internet Search Plugin - add github

should add github as search option

Add about menu-entry

tray menu should feature an about-entry

plugin: internet_search - parameter are missing

since the last rework of the internet-plugins the parameter is no longer part of the constructed URL - which is for sure a bug.

prefs - make checkboxes enabled

the plugin checkboxes in preferences are currently all disabled.
Should make them enabled - as greyed out looks ugly.

Keep in mind: plugins are so far not configurable. That means: changing the state of the checkboxes to false must be impossible.

add support for multiple icon sizes

config already contains a setting for icon size - which is so far only valid for the application icons.

Could enhance this to all plugin icons etc

rename apparat to apparat-launcher

there are already tons of apparat projects on github - renaming it to apparat-launcher might be a good idea.

add check for desktop environment

add a check for desktop environment to tools.check_platform()

add platform check

• script should only support linux platform
• should quit with error message on darwin or windows

Add Pref Tab for plugin commands

should add a preference tab which lists all implemented 'plugin' commands
