After the installation is completed, you will have 3 executables and a gnomehud.desktop file available.

  • Open the GTK3 menu dialog with gnomehud
  • Open the Rofi menu dialog with gnomehud-rofi
  • Start the AppMenu service with gnomehud-service

The desktop file launches gnomehud-service and can be used to add it to the startup applications in gnome-tweaks. The dialog commands can be used for custom keyboard shortcuts in keyboard settings.

When running the dialog commands from a terminal the keybinding is Ctrl + Alt + Space.
