# 🚀 shrtrun

**shrtrun** is a lightweight command launcher script for Linux, powered by `rofi`. It supports quick access to web search engines, YouTube searches, and execution of shell commands through a simple and customizable interface.

## ✨ Features

- ⚡ Launch custom shell commands
- 🌐 Search the web using your preferred search engine
- 📺 Search YouTube directly
- 🛠️ Configurable via `~/.config/shrtrun/config.conf`
- 🕘 Command history for fast re-use

## 📦 Installation

1. Save the script (e.g., as `shrtrun.sh`) and make it executable:

```bash
chmod +x shrtrun.sh
```

2. (Optional) Move it somewhere in your `$PATH`:

```bash
mv shrtrun.sh ~/.local/bin/shrtrun
```

3. Run it via a keybinding or launcher

```bash
shrtrun
```

Or use the full path if not in your `$PATH` (e.g., `/path/to/shrtrun.sh`).

## ⚙️ Configuration

On first run, the script creates a config file at:

```
~/.config/shrtrun/config.conf
```

### 📝 Example config:

youtube_search: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=
```

This lets you recall previous commands easily when relaunching shrtrun. Only successful or valid commands are saved.
