zofi

A straightforward Wayland application launcher similar to rofi and dmenu.

Building

• GTK 3
• gtk-layer-shell
• pkg-config
• The latest version of Zig

Run zig build to build zofi. The executable is placed at zig-out/bin/zofi. See this link for building an optimized binary. To see all available options, run zig build --help.

Usage

zofi runs in Wayland compositors that support the layer shell protocol. You can use wayland-info within a compositor to check for support.

To use zofi, enter a command and press enter to run it. If your command matches an executable on the PATH, you can select it from a list of suggestions by pressing up and down, and pressing enter to run the highlighted program. Press tab with an executable selected to insert the full executable name into the command bar, allowing you to add command-line parameters. Press escape to close zofi without running anything.

Configuration

zofi uses GTK 3, so most graphical elements of zofi are configured directly by your GTK 3 theme. The size of the window can be specified using command-line arguments. Run zofi -h for more information.
