In Rofi, How can I change the mode by entering a prefix?

[FawazBinSaleem]

I'm a huge fan of Alfred on macOS and I just recently switched to Linux and Rofi.

One thing I liked about Alfred is that I can enter a word or character followed by space and the whole list will change.

Example:

When I enter "c ", instead of listing the apps, Alfred would switch to the clipboard history.

Can this be done in Rofi?

If that did work, then I would have something like this:

• Default: Listing apps
• c: clipboard history
• w: Windows
• =: Calculator

... you get the idea

Sorry if this is a duplicate question, I can't really find the answer to this anywhere.

The combi mode can do something like this.
By doing: '!{mode}' you can filter down.
So ' !d application' should give you applications via drun, '!w firefox' should give you firefox windows via window mode . (given both are enabled in combi mode.)
