Note
I am currently working on a follow-up project called 🥧 Kando. I will continue to maintain Fly-Pie until Kando is ready for daily use. If you want to learn more, feel free to visit my Ko-fi page!
Important
The code in the main
branch is for GNOME Shell 45 . For older GNOME versions, please use the gnome-3.36-44
branch.
Fly-Pie is an extension for GNOME Shell which lets you open marking menus via keyboard shortcuts. You can use it to launch applications, simulate hotkeys, open URLs and much more.
After the installation, you can open the example menu by pressing Ctrl Space. Once you opened a marking menu, you can seamlessly transition between three alternative selection modes:
- Point-and-Click: Select items by clicking on them or anywhere in the corresponding wedges.
- Marking-Mode: Select items by drawing gestures. To do this, click anywhere and drag your mouse. Pausing or making a turn selects the currently dragged item.
- Turbo-Mode: You can also "draw" gestures while holding Ctrl, Shift, or Alt without having to press your mouse button! This is especially useful when you opened the menu with a shortcut involving such a modifier.

Fly-Pie is designed for you if you have one hand at the mouse most of the time. It is not designed to be used with a keyboard only; there are other applications which work better in this case (for example kupfer). Fly-Pie also works nicely with touch input.

While coding new features or translating Fly-Pie is the most awesome way to contribute, providing financial support will encourage me to invest my spare time for developing free and open-source software.
These awesome people have already donated to the development of my open-source projects:
