rofi-nerdy
Nerd font icon selector plugin for rofi
## Dependencies
Commands used vary depending on your chosen display server:
### Wayland
- [wl-clipboard](https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard)
- [wtype](https://github.com/atx/wtype)
---
### X11
- [xclip](https://github.com/astrand/xclip)
- [xdotool](https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool)
## Installation
### AUR
```bash
paru -S rofi-nerdy
```
---
### just
1. Clone repo:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Rolv-Apneseth/rofi-nerdy.git
```
2. Use `just` to install (requires `cargo` and `just`)
```bash
cd rofi-nerdy && sudo just install
```
---
### Manual (not recommended)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Rolv-Apneseth/rofi-nerdy.git
cd rofi-nerdy
cargo build --release --lib
sudo cp target/release/librofi_nerdy.so /usr/lib/rofi/nerdy.so
```
If you are using the latest changes from the rofi repo (e.g. rofi-lbonn-wayland-git, rofi-git), then the build step needs to be preceded by RUSTFLAGS="--cfg rofi_next" for it to work
## Usage
After installing, simply run the following command:
```bash
rofi -modi nerdy -show nerdy
```
However, I also recommend setting a theme with the `-theme` flag. To achieve what is shown in the demo image, have a look at [my rofi config](https://github.com/Rolv-Apneseth/.dotfiles/tree/main/rofi/.config/rofi), specifically the `icons.rasi` file (follow the import chain for the full theme).
## Keybinds
| Keybind | Default rofi keybind | Action |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------|------------------------|
| `kb-accept-entry` | Enter | Copy icon |
| `kb-accept-alt` | Shift+Enter | Attempt to insert icon |
- To change a `rofi` keybind, you can, for example, use `-kb-accept-entry Ctrl+c`
