How to launch apps like finder on mac but on linux



        So on linux mint xfce you can get twister os to look like mac..

but my biggest gripe is it comes with a thing that looks like spotlight search

but instead its docked in the corner and you have to click on it to use it.


cmd space doesn't work! thats what it should be!! its so awkward

I don't want to use the mouse it gives me carpel tunnel!!



        One thing that the tiling window manager i3 gaps got right is rofi. (okay well it comes with dmenu but following some tutorial that's where i first saw a use for rofi)

cmd d (or was it control d? whatever doesnt matter) is gold!!!!!



THE STEPS:

- on linux mint, click top right start menu icon.

- settings>keyboard>Application shortcuts>Add.

- rofi -show run 

- set it to super space

and there ya go. 

now you have a nice app launcher.
