05:07 <Akawama[m]> In my .config/river/init file, 'riverctl map normal Super+Shift Return foot' works fine but 'riverctl map normal Super Return foot' doesn't seem to work but if I run it as a command in a terminal it works just fine. What am I missing here?

05:27 <RZ_MJ[m]> Both init file lines miss "spawn".

05:29 <RZ_MJ[m]> Akawama: So I guess you do have spawn in the first but forgot it in the second and also when copying the first one here.

20:17 <zaz> hello everyone. what the command to run dmenu in ini config file. i tried too many forms. it didnt work. "dmenu_run" `dmenu_run` "/bin/sh -c dmenu_run"

20:23 <RZ_MJ[m]> Do you mean creating a keymapping for it?

20:24 <zaz> I mean what to put after spawn --> riverctl map normal Super p spwan "here in this place"

20:26 <RZ_MJ[m]> Yeah. So what is the actual line you have in your file?

20:27 <zaz> as i said. i tried this line --> riverctl map normal Super p spwan "dmenu_run" . it didnt work or if there is any alternative with fuzzel or rofi. no a problem. just any app launcher. right now. i use terminal to launch apps.

20:29 <RZ_MJ[m]> Ok two issues here. First its 'spawn', not 'spwan'. Second 'P' should be capitalized.

20:30 <RZ_MJ[m]> And if your command is a single word you don't need to quote it.

20:31 <zaz> Ok. im going to try right now. im on ghostbsd . thank you for your time.

20:32 <RZ_MJ[m]> So you probably want riverctl map normal Super P spawn dmenu_run.

20:34 <zaz> Thank you. it works. thanks a lot for your help :)

20:36 <leon-p> note that dmenu will be using XWayland. For wayyland native alternatives, try fuzzel.

20:36 <zaz> whats the command for fuzzel ?

20:41 <leon-p> fuzzel

20:41 <leon-p> It fetches .desktop files by default

20:41 <RZ_MJ[m]> Well... fuzzel :) manpage tells the options.

20:43 <zaz> ok. so maybe i have other issues. i get this line at the end "err: wayland.c:1983: failed to connect to wayland; no compositor running?". i already checked the man page. i saw -T -p -D flags . i will read once more

20:43 <zaz> in the beginning i see this : "nfo: main.c:1154: version: 1.9.2 +cairo +png +svg(librsvg) -assertions

20:43 <zaz> info: config.c:1475: loading configuration from /home/d1ws/.config/fuzzel/fuzzel.ini"

20:44 <leon-p> is $WAYLAND_DISPLAY set?

20:44 <leon-p> wayland software uses that to find the right socket

20:45 <zaz> yes. i get : wayland-1

20:46 <leon-p> ok, if you try to run other wayland software from that same shell, does it run?

20:47 <zaz> i didnt get well what you mean by "other wayland software" . i use only dwm and river . thats all on bash shell

21:16 <leon-p> And I don't get what you mean with dwm and river? You use both at the same time?

21:40 <zaz> no. i kill dwm session with startx. after that. i use river if i want with river command.
