rofi VS rofi

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).

You'll probably like rofi.

Also, I use this script so that Rofi will show my clipboard instead of the native klipper UI (because it's far less keyboard friendly). Normally the script works great, but the script chokes whenever I `dd` an empty line or a lone `\`, putting an empty entry on my clipboard, which the wrapper than assumes means I'm at the end of the list of clipboard entries.

I like rofi (super flexible, i also use it as a custom alt-tab option in openbox) and wofi is a nice option on wayland

Modi are covered in the documentation. They set what Rofi displays in its window. You can run Rofi from a keybind, or a module in Polybar, or by using click handlers. Extremely extensible and versatile. And a shit ton of fun to theme. :)

xwinmosaic: Having tried XMonad.Actions.GridSelect in the past, I found the 2-dimensional grid more confusing than useful because you cannot intuit where it would lay things out. I find Rofi to be more usable for window switching because it prioritizes text filtering. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi
