Verve is a command line plugin for Xfce, providing a convenient experience for users. It enhances the panel's functionality with its smooth, easy-to-use interface.
Furthermore, the plugin also allows you to open URLs and email addresses using your favorite applications. Additionally, Verve utilizes D-BUS to enable focus grabbing, allowing you to bind a shortcut to it for easy access. Also, the plugin's input field width is adjustable to suit your preferences.
You can control Verve using various shortcuts. TAB enables you to iterate through auto-completion entries, UP and DOWN arrows to track through the command history, while CTRL+ENTER activates the preferred command in a terminal emulator. To clear your input, use the ESC key.
In addition, the script named verve-focus facilitates focus grabbing. This feature allows you to bind a keyboard shortcut to Verve, enabling it to capture focus whenever you press the shortcut. To activate the focus grabbing feature, go to the Xfce settings manager and add a shortcut for verve-focus. The plugin will begin blinking whenever you use the shortcut. Typing or clicking on it with a mouse will stop the blinking.
Verve requires some libraries to function correctly, including exo >= 0.3.1.3, xfce4-panel >= 4.3.28, libxfce4util >= 4.3.0, GLib >= 2.6.4, libpcre, and optionally D-BUS >= 0.34. Overall, Verve is a reliable plugin that makes using the command line interface much easier.
