Rofi dry run

dmenu not working?
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.
