tessen: an interactive menu to autotype and copy password store data on Wayland, like rofi-pass
tessen can use either bemenu, the wayland fork of rofi, or wofi to show password store data. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs root privileges.

tessen: autotype and copy password-store data on Wayland, like rofi-pass
I've made a script called tessen which is, more or less, a replacement of rofi-pass but for Wayland. It can use bemenu or the wayland fork of rofi. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs a daemon running with root privileges.

Rofi dry run
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?

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.

is there a word-to-latex converter?
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).

ydotool - Generic command-line automation tool (no X!)
bemenu - Dynamic menu library and client program inspired by dmenu
