Awesome, will give this a try on a new Arch install with hypr

If anyone prefers the dmenu look and feel, there’s also bemenu

and there is also wofi for rofi.

And there’s lbonn’s fork of rofi with native wayland support. It opens faster than wofi.

Edit: github.com/lbonn/rofi

It’s in some repos available as rofi-wayland.

Didn’t know about that. Nice one.

theshatterstone54@feddit.uk on 02 Sep 2023 14:13 collapse

Yes, and it’s pretty good, if not as flexible as rofi.

markstos@lemmy.world on 02 Sep 2023 12:42 collapse

And dmenu-wayland.

The thing I miss from rofi is the ssh/mosh support with history. I haven’t been able to replicate that on any of the other alternatives.

I initially missed SSH support from Rofi, but just changed my workflow to open a terminal and then use Fish with the history autocomplete history to quickly select a host to SSH to.

Been using this with Sway since the start of the year, and it’s been wonderful.
