anyrun-plugins

A collection of anyrun plugins written in Rust.

anyrun is a Wayland-native, fuzzy-search application launcher. This repository hosts plugins that extend it with additional search providers and command runners.

Plugins

Plugin	Description
ssh-pattern	Fuzzy-search and connect to hosts defined in your SSH config files, more information in ssh-pattern/README.md.
menu-bar	Two-level hierarchical menu bar for launching commands, more information in menu-bar/README.md.

This is a Cargo workspace: each plugin lives in its own crate and is built as a cdylib using anyrun-plugin and abi_stable.

Requirements

• Rust 1.96 or newer (edition 2024)
• Cargo
• An anyrun install for running the plugins
• Optional: Nix with flakes enabled, for the provided dev shell and package builds

Installation

From a single plugin (recommended)

Each plugin is an independent crate. Build only what you need:

cargo build --release -p ssh-pattern

The resulting shared library lives in target/release/libssh_pattern.so and can be loaded by anyrun through its standard config.

Using Nix

The flake exposes a dev shell and a packaged anyrun-plugins bundle:

# input
inputs = {
  nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
  
  anyrun-plugins = {
    url = "github:thinkgos/anyrun-plugins";
    inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  };
}

Per-system plugin packages are also available (e.g. nix build .#ssh-pattern).

Plugin Configuration

Each plugin reads its config from <anyrun-config-dir>/<plugin-name>.ron. See each plugin's examples/ directory for a starter config:

cp ssh-pattern/examples/ssh-pattern.ron ~/.config/anyrun/ssh-pattern.ron
