Given we have the combi mode I don't see how this is much different. You can type !w
or !r
to only see window or run mode (less typing even) and filter these further by adding more keywords.
If you don't want to see the full unfiltered list of all modes on opening, that is possible (on an up2date rofi).
rofi -show combi -modes combi -combi-modi 'drun,window' -theme-str 'listview {require-input: true; }'
I don't see a reason to implement this (given the extra code it would be to maintain), but a plugin (or patch if maintained) is welcome. Given how rofi works, the best way to do this is clone the combi mode and change the logic.

I would like to try that, could you assign me this issue (if that's possible)?
Any news on the topic? Would really love to have support for prefixes to run different modes/commands.
Maybe I didn't read enough and that's already a thing, would love some insights into it.
As mentioned in the manpages and above, you can prefix your query with !mode (or the first characters) to target a certain type if you combine them using the 'combi' mode..
Commenting on an issue 'is there any news on the topic' is pointless and polutes the issue tracker and pings people without providing more information. If there was more information, it would be in the issue.
See the guidelines:
Do NOT ask for an update. Asking does not contribute to solving the issue and just annoys people with a notification. The answer is already available; if there is an update it will be linked/mentioned in the issue, otherwise there is no update.

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?
Ease of switching enabled rofi modes.
How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?
...
Who will benefit from it?
Users
Rofi version (rofi -v)
1.7.3
Configuration
not needed
Additional information
If multiple modes are enabled
I could switch to next mode using keybinding for
kb-mode-next
, which is Ctrl+Tab for me on Linux.It would be better if modes could be switched if user types a mode like
window:
& pressing Space after it would change the mode.Ref: gh-1770
