rofi VS nnn

https://github.com/svenstaro/rofi-calc together with https://github.com/lbonn/rofi (both packaged for openSUSE and perhaps other Linux distros).

Which rofi you run? The original one from https://github.com/davatorium/rofi (which is Xorg base, so it has to start XWayland) or the Wayland-based fork on https://github.com/lbonn/rofi?

Rofi does not support wayland you should use https://github.com/lbonn/rofi

I think this problem can be solved using Rofi-fork-wayland.

There's a rofi fork that's wayland native and works with the thousands of scripts and themes out there: https://github.com/lbonn/rofi

There's a patched fork of rofi that supports wayland that I'm actually using, but linked the upstream in my OP for general reference: https://github.com/lbonn/rofi#wayland-support

There's a rofi fork that works well in Wayland: https://github.com/lbonn/rofi You need to install this instead of standard rofi

Also, this fork of rofi … https://github.com/lbonn/rofi

There are replacements for dmenu: standard is wofi (https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi), but it has slightly less functionality (although many people live with it just fine), or there is port of rofi (https://github.com/lbonn/rofi), which is much more capable (you need this fork, the original rofi is X-only). Both of these are packaged in most Linux distributions.

I wrote my own web based LaTeX editor I can use if I want access to my LaTeX files from a different computer, something I never would have been able to do if I hadn't learned how the pieces work together (though I actually use neovim over ssh more often).

If you want a file full browser experience choose nnn: https://github.com/jarun/nnn . If you have a desktop file for Helix you can use the Gnome Files program to make all your programming language files open in Helix.

The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

You can get the 'default' nuke plugin script from https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke and customize it if you need to. You define files by extension or mime type and set default and fallback apps to be opened with.

I like nnn ( n3 ).

The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.
