Fuzzel: A great dmenu and rofi alternative for Wayland
Tofi is missing icon support for me but otherwise appears to have a nice balance of features. I haven’t tried it yet. https://github.com/philj56/tofi

[OC] tofi - an extemely fast and tiny rofi / dmenu for Sway that can get on screen in one frame.
Thanks! Yeah it's a bit annoying that key repeat in Wayland is left almost entirely to the application to sort out, and as I don't really need it when I'm just launching stuff, I haven't gotten around to it yet. I probably will at some point though (especially seeing as someone else already opened an issue as well).

Done. It could do with some more keybindings in general, but those'll probably wait until I do pagination (if I do).

Are there any other full-screen app launchers like that of GNOME?
If you’re familiar with sway the nwg-shell features a fullscreen app launcher which looks really nice.
