Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Settings in .config/ml4w/settings folder are now managed by .sh files containing just the line calling the actual executable.
Maybe using symlinks would speed up a bit the opening time, expecially for launcher, since there will be no need to open a separate shell process and then run the called executable?

Describe the solution you'd like

Use symlinks for settings.
Eg. for launcher

cd ~/.config/ml4w/settings
mv launcher launcher.old
ln -sf $(which walker) launcher
ls -l launcher

launcher -> /usr/bin/rofi

Or for browser

cd ~/.config/ml4w/settings
mv browser.sh browser.sh.old
ln -sf $(which firefox) browser.sh
ls -l browser.sh

browser.sh -> /usr/bin/firefox

Don't know.. maybe this small speed improvement could make, expecially on low-end pcs, the look and fill slighly better?

Happy holidays to everyone.
