    @mundo03 That's a silly question. Because you can, obviously. :D

    @Jilano That is the thing, I already know it is possible therefore I don't need to do it for that reason.

    I need better reasons.

    @mundo03 Fait enough, but just because something is possible or someone is able to do it, doesn't mean you would be too. You could also try to find another, better way to get the same result.

    If you are into terminals try T-UI (a terminal launcher)
    It doesnt support color, job control and cursor jumping (as the input is an actual input) but as a launcher its pretty awesome
