QuickAccess for Linux

QuickAccess is a Linux utility that runs in the background and gives you fast access to your favorite folders and custom commands using a global menu.

This tool helps you open user-defined folders and their subfolders quickly, saving time when navigating your files.

You can also create and run your own commands from this menu, making it a handy utility for managing tasks.

The menu can appear in two ways using dbus methods: showMenu and showDelayedMenu.

Both let you open the menu either at a fixed position on your screen or where your mouse pointer is.

The showMenu method shows the menu instantly but sometimes may have problems like the menu not appearing or closing correctly.

If that happens, you can use showDelayedMenu instead, which adds a small delay (default is 150 milliseconds) before showing the menu.

This delay can be adjusted if needed.

To open the menu, you use dbus-send commands with options to choose where the menu appears, numbered 0 to 9.

For example, you can run: ``` dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.georgefb.quickaccess /QuickAccess com.georgefb.QuickAccess.showMenu int32:x ``` or ``` dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.georgefb.quickaccess /QuickAccess com.georgefb.QuickAccess.showDelayedMenu int32:200 int32:x ``` where you replace x with a number from 0 to 9 to set menu position.

Note that QuickAccess is designed specifically for the Linux platform and uses dbus commands, which might require some technical knowledge to use correctly.

Overall, QuickAccess is a useful tool if you want quick and flexible access to your files and custom commands on Linux, especially if you are comfortable working with dbus commands.
