V1.2.0 - 8397

New Features

Despite me saying after every release that it is mostly feature complete; new Rofi, new features. However these new features are mostly to improve current functionality and debugging. Below the 4 most important ones.

Underline Match

A new, hopefully welcome, addition is that Rofi now highlights the match in each row:

To accomplish this, now all matching is done using GRegex, as this returns the exact location in the string of each match. While I don't see a direct use, it is something a lot of other quick search tools provide, so Rofi could not stay behind.

Multiline Select

While already existing in a very rudimentary form, we now improved the multi-line select in dmenu mode. It will allow you to select and unselect rows, selected rows are highlighted with a dot and a small counter indicated the amount of rows selected.

Customize Window string

You can now specify what the window switcher will show. It allows for some markup to nicely line up the entries.

For example if the with of the window is specified in characters, this would right align the class name

rofi.window-format: {t:-16} ({c:10})

Track configuration option origin

Rofi now keeps track of how configuration options are set. It will now display if it is the default value, set in Xresources, configuration file or commandline.

This should help debugging recent bugs, where people had an invalid pid path set in the configuration file. Additionally if you dump the configuration, for using on another pc, it will comment the options that are set to their default value. (So f.e. pidfile location won't be overriden).

Bug Fixes

As no tool is without bugs, and Rofi not being the exception, we did manage to squash a few.

Fix current desktop window selector.
Fix launching application in terminal.
Support #include in config file.
Fix rofi on 30bit 10 bit per channel display.
Correct Control-u behaviour to remove till begin of line. Control-w now whipes the line.
Add missing Control-k keybinding, delete till end of line.

Remove features

Removed fuzzy finder
Remove i3 workarounds. As i3 has, for more than a year now, native support for EWMH.
Remove XLib dependency. The last hard dependency on Xlib has been removed by the use of xcb-util-xrm.
