use gtk-launch to dry terminal applications invocation

[alanoliveira]

I would like to suggest using gtk-launch (man gtk-launch) to dry terminal applications launching.

So, instead of call alacritty -e <cmd>, for example:

omarchy/config/hypr/hyprland.conf

Line 31 in e7e5ff9

bind = SUPER, T, exec, $terminal -e btop

omarchy/config/waybar/config

Line 48 in e7e5ff9

"on-click": "alacritty -e btop"

use gtk-launch Activity to launch the program using the Activity.desktop file.

It would make easier to change the --class, --title or even the Activity program itself in the future.

On Wayland the recommended way to launch hyprland is using uwsm app -- kitty maybe instead of the way you mentioned it should be the way I mentioned.
