11+aurora-run: aurora's runner and a fuzzel/dmenu replacement for scripts (needs aurora running)
12+
13+USAGE
14+ aurora-run open the app runner (same as SUPER+R; again = close)
15+ ... | aurora-run -d [OPTIONS] dmenu mode: one item per stdin line, prints the choice
16+
17+DMENU OPTIONS
18+ -d, --dmenu dmenu mode
19+ -p, --prompt TEXT label left of the input (shown in the accent colour)
20+ -l, --lines N visible rows (default 10, capped at 15, shrinks to fit);
21+ 0 = no list, just a text box (stdin optional)
22+ --placeholder TEXT dim hint in the empty input
23+ --password mask the input with * (use with --lines=0)
24+ --index print the 0-based line number instead of the text
25+ (-1 when the typed text was used)
26+ -h, --help this help
27+ Both "--opt VALUE" and "--opt=VALUE" work. Other fuzzel flags (-i, -fn, --width,
28+ --cache, ...) are accepted and ignored, so fuzzel/dmenu lines can just be renamed.
29+
30+KEYS
31+ type fuzzy filter (case-insensitive; prefix > word start > substring)
32+ Up/Down, Tab/Shift+Tab, move the selection
33+ Ctrl+N/P, Ctrl+J/K

37+ Esc / click outside cancel
38+
39+EXIT STATUS

44+
45+RUNNER MODE (no -d)

49+ Ctrl+Enter runs the selection in foot.
