Package information

Wofi is a launcher/menu program for wlroots-based Wayland compositors, such as Sway.

Installation

Emerge

root #emerge --ask gui-apps/wofi

Configuration

Information about configuring Wofi can be found in the wofi(5) man page.

Usage

One way to use Wofi is to create a simple shell script, e.g. wofi_run.sh, which runs Wofi with a standard set of options and the list of items passed to it:

FILE wofi_run.sh

#!/bin/sh

wofi --width=400 --height=260 --hide-scroll --show="${1}"

Then, to open a dialog box with a list of programs to run:

user $wofi_run.sh run

For further details about running wofi, refer to the wofi(1) man page. Information about modes available for the --show option can be found in the wofi(7) man page.
