Walker Launcher

Walker, is a Raycast alternative for Linux to launch apps.

It has many more features included - I’d say if you search for a Raycast solution on Linux, search no more. It’s amazing how Walker provides file search, clipboard, calculator, emojis, and many more out of the box. It does more than I needed Raycast to do.

If you hit / you see all inbuild features. You can also prefix them with a Hyprland shortcut, or if you open Walker, e.g. . will open finder for seraching files, : will brin up emojies and so on. Check it out in action here in my Linux Workflow video.

It’s rewritten in Rust and comes with Omarchy out of the box.

It’s called files since v1.0 (before it was finder).

The case sensitive is not always working see:

When if I capitalize it finds it:

The search is:

It’s case-insensitive by default and case-sensitive if the query contains an upper-case letter.

You’d try playing around with the min_score value in the config for the files provider. It’s 50 by default.

This config is in ~/.config/elephant/files.toml Elefant (the backbone of Walker). After changing, it needs a restart of Elephant

You’d also use exact search by prefixing your query with a '.
