It is optimized for—and excels at—speedily launching apps and opening folders from common folders.
* Chappie owns `⌘+SPACE` when running.
* Quickly launch apps and open folders.
* Press `ENTER` to open, add `⌥` to open in terminal.
* Configure custom shortcuts like `?` to search the web.
* A dozen shortcuts out of the box.
* `/` tab through directories.
* `!` commands (volume, brightness, etc.) and settings.
* `=` to calculate, ENTER to copy the result.
* All at just ~2.3 MB on disk.
* *Chappie (Files)*, a supplement to Finder, is also in the works.
Closed source for now, but planning to open-source at 1.0. I want the code to be well-documented and easy to follow at the time of the 1.0 launch. But in the meantime, I’d sincerely appreciate any help in making this great for us all to enjoy.
