Devour: Window Manager agnostic swallowing feature for X11
Devour hides your terminal window before launching an external program and unhides it after quitting.
Devour was inspired by
sw
and is a successor to
devour.sh
Demonstration done by DistroTube
Dependencies
Installation
git clone https://github.com/salman-abedin/devour.git && cd devour && sudo make install
Usage
devour CMD/ALIAS ... SAFE FILE ... devour CMD/ALIAS ... -- SAFE FILE/UNSAFE FILE
Pro Tip
Devour from your file explorer instead of the shell.
Watch my demo and notice how seamless it is compared to devouring from the shell.
Hint: If you are one of those unfortunate souls who uses xdg-open instead of a custom launch script, then go to your ~/.local/share/applications directory and modify the applications you launch from your file explorer like below and enjoy the true devouring experience.
