Rofi intergration

[vredesbyyrd]

Hi, thanks for sharing this awesome tool. Really well done. I am using it with fzf currently, but I am thinking of trying to integrate it with Rofi. Before I dive into that, do you have any example functions / scripts with rofi + brotab? The fzf and Albert examples are very helpful.

Mimicking a layout like zzzfoo could probably be a good fit for brotab, having the tab title and url on separate lines would be great for readability, imo. I have fzf + brotab setup similar, but some fzf limitations make that specific layout not ideal.

Cheers.

EDIT: To clarify what I mean about fzf limitations. I am not sure you can have the title and url each on a separate line, but considered a single item. Which makes filtering a mess. Rofi has ways around that I believe.

I've commited sample scripts for integration with rofi, take a look at the latest commit. I adjusted it slightly and removed some code since in the full version there are parts that are not relevant to brotab. But if you are interested, I posted the full version of dispatcher below.

Wow, that layout looks neat, thanks for sharing! My current layout is much less elegant, it's just id, title, url:

I also tried -sidebar rofi style before but at some point for tabs I switch to a simpler layout for some reason. Take a look at the full version of dispatcher, maybe you'll like sidebar version better.

Thank you for doing all this! Very much appreciated. Makes it easier to wrap my head around everything. When I get some time in the coming days I will be doing something this. I will close this now, but I will post my end result when its done.

Thanks again for your time!

@vredesbyyrd Could you please share your rofi script?

[vredesbyyrd]

I only got around to making one with bare bones functionality, currently the only function is tab-switching. When time abides I want to at least add close and integration with _simple_tabgroups. Its a modi script, so its started like:

rofi -modi brotab:/path/to/brotab_modi.lua -show brotab -eh 3

I went with a modi script over dmenu because I intend to use it along with a couple other web based rofi modes. It requires shepi.

EDIT: this script requires setting the delimiter internally, which was only added to rofi in the last couple months. Im on version Version: 1.5.4-104-g9a3d4b1d

#!/usr/bin/lua

local bp = require("lua-shepi")
local rofi_markup = print("\0markup-rows\x1ftrue\n")

local function GetTabs(sin, sout, serr)
    local delim = print("\x00delim\x1f\x0f")
    local markup_s = '%s\n<span foreground="#6B838E">%s\n</span><span foreground="#44555D"><small><i>%s</i></small></span>\x0f'
    local pipe_in = sin:read("a")
    for line in pipe_in:gmatch("([^\n]*)\n") do
        local id, title, url = line:match("([^\t]+)\t([^\t]+)\t([^\t]+)")
        local result = string.format(markup_s, title, url:match("https?://[www%.]*(.*)"), id)
        local prune_s = result:gsub("&", "&amp;")
        sout:write(prune_s)
    end
end

args = {...}
local pipe = bp.bt("list") | bp.tac("-s", "\n") | bp.fun(GetTabs)
if not args[1] then
    io.write(pipe())
else
    os.execute(string.format("bt activate %s", args[1]:match("<i>(.-)</i>")))
end
