This script checks for binds that have a description and only displays those. It could be altered easily to behave differently if so desired.
Any command selected with rofi will be sent to
hyprctl dispatch
to be executed.As far as I know there is only one problem when trying to execute some commands using this script. If the command being executed tries to use
or
logic (two pipes||
) thenhyprctl
doesn't execute the command correctly. Not sure why that is or if there is something I must do differently. I suspect the same would be true ofand
logic (two ampersands&&
)
