navi VS rofi

I've built something similar for myself (fzf+a bit of shell). But I realized that fzf's history view (with very long history buffer) works much better for my use case.

I still needed something to cover rare commands with dynamic arguments. That got covered by Navi: https://github.com/denisidoro/navi (takes more friction to add new command than with TBMK, but you get much more organized and easier to search tool).

Similar projects (in a way): navi

I think navi is a better alternative. You can create custom cheats too.

navi might help you with that

I like using navi, but idk if you want something that runs in the terminal.

There's also a cli program called tealdeer that does this kind of thing and uses a local cache. And there's a fuzzy search interactive cli cheatsheet program called navi that's also pretty cool (and you can write your own cheatsheets).

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.

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?

OS: Arch Linux WM: Qtile Panel: Qtile bar Launcher: Rofi Notification Daemon: Dunst Terminal: Alacritty Shell: Zsh Compositor: Picom File Manager: Nemo Music Player: Spotify & ncmpcpp

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
