This is a small utility to launch programs, similar to gnome-run-dialog or gmrun.
It tries to keep the best features and improve the worst ones.
FEATURES:
-completion for programs in PATH and filenames;
ex: type su, press tab and cycle through sudo, sudoedit, sum, ... (control+tab to cycle back)
type /b and complete to /bin and /boot;
-completion for element in history;
ex: type su, press up or down and cycle through all commands in history starting with su.. (quite useful..)
-run commands in terminal (ex top, control+enter)
-run commands as root (ex. nautilus, shift+enter)
-open files with default application:
ex: /home/user open nautilus in user home folder,
/home/user/party.jpg open picture viewer,...

-a nice program icon ;)
There are lots of bugs but it's a young project. Enjoy it.
Let me know wht do you think.
TODO:
-improve gui, by adding a list of know applications. I would like to receive suggestions.
-packaging stuff (deb, rpm).. work in progress.
-bug fixing, please report bugs!
-whatever you like me to do ;)

x-terminal-emulator is the command for calling the default terminal, whatever one it may be.

I love it ...
But, reading ~/.bash_history for history is a really bad idea coz when I recall history by "Alt + UP " it shows a bunch of commands like "ls , grep " ....
Why not make a simple log file instead ?
