would like to use wofi instead of rofi for pure wayland

[biwhite]

wofi has slightly different arguments to rofi, so unfortunately not just a drop in replacement

[firecat53]

Sorry for the delay in responding! I haven't experimented with Wayland at all yet. I did a quick browse of the wofi repo, but didn't have time to dig into the docs. Are you able to figure out which command line options would need alteration in order to make it work?

wofi -d seems to be the dmenu mode for wofi, it should be compatible

[julientechdev]

to make it compatible, add this to the file .config/networkmanager-dmenu/config.ini:

[dmenu]
dmenu_command = /usr/bin/wofi -d

[biwhite]

Seems the 'fn' option messes it up. works with -d, without the 'fn' option set.

@l4l submitted a PR (#83) to start adding support for wofi. Anyone here care to address the best way to handle the lack of support for the fn flag? Maybe not use it and address in the documentation?

[chron-isch]

I don't really mind the font, but I would really like to have pango markup support.

[firecat53]

@chron-isch I doubt pango markup is something I will add. In my opinion that adds a pretty substantial complexity for a minimalist tool that is rarely visible.

[chron-isch]

@firecat53 I think you misunderstood my comment, i wasn't asking for generic pango markup support, just replacing the rofi highlighting code with a little bit of pango markup to get highlighting of active network connections to work in wofi.

[firecat53]

@chron-isch : Ah, I see. I'd be happy to review a PR if you'd care to take a stab at it.

There's also a fork of rofi that supports Wayland now:

https://github.com/lbonn/rofi#wayland-support

Not everything works though-- notably the window switching mode is not supported.

However, there is a dmenu based solution for window switching on Sway that works to see and switch to XWayland windows as well, using this bash script:

  swaymsg -t get_tree |    jq -r '.nodes[].nodes[] | if .nodes then [recurse(.nodes[])] else [] end + .floating_nodes | .[] |  select(.nodes==[]) | ((.id | tostring) + " " + .name)' |
         wofi --show dmenu | {
           read -r id name
           swaymsg "[con_id=$id]" focus
       }

However, since rofi supports custom modes that supply their own scripts, perhaps this approach could be used as the basis to implement a window switching mode for Sway, using the Wayland fork of rofi.

Where to find the PR for the Wofi implementation?

@mordax777 The comment above describes how to make it work for wofi:

@firecat53 You already handle rofi with a special case, can you add one for wofi too:

        if "rofi" in dmenu_command:
            lines = "-i -dmenu -lines"
            # rofi doesn't support 0 length line, it requires at least -lines=1
            # see https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi/issues/252
            num_lines = num_lines or 1

            #wofi takes lines as `-L`
        elif "wofi" in dmenu_command:
            lines = "--dmenu -i -L"
        else:
            lines = "-i -l"

#71 (comment) will work for wofi except the argument for specifying lines is -L or --lines instead of -l so there will be extra lines. -p and -i are the same
