+`nlaunch` is an independent POSIX-compliant GUI application launcher shell script. To use it with `nnn` you need to mark the file executable and drop it somewhere in your `$PATH`.
+
+It requires [`fzy`](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy) to show a fuzzy drop-down menu.
+
+To use `nlaunch` as an independent launcher add a keybind to open `nlaunch` in a terminal e.g.
+
+    xfce4-terminal -e nlaunch

+# Description: Fuzzy find executables in $PATH and launch an application.
+#              stdin, stdout, stderr are suppressed so CLI utilities exit silently.
+#              Works as an independent app launcher.
+#
+#              Requires fzy.
+#
+#              Usage: nlaunch [delay]
+#                     delay is in seconds, if omitted nlaunch waits for 1 sec
+#
+# Shell: POSIX compliant
