how to add gksu before run ? #636

Closed icf20 closed 7 years ago

icf20 commented 7 years ago

Version

Output of rofi -v 1.3.1

if i type "printer" on rofi run mode i get system-config-printer, i dint find anyway to auto complete "system-config-printer" instead of "printer" into the run field to add gksu, the only way to do this is to type everything " gksu system-config-printer" and is annoying

edit: i know i can select the system-config-printer with ctrl+space but then i need to press the left arrow key until the cursor goes in front of system-config-printer because "start/home" dont work

You can change the run-command option, but that would be for EVERY call

You can also misuse the run-shell-command option for this, but you would loose the ability to run shell scripts from rofi.

in your rofi config simply add: run-shell-command: "gksu '{cmd}'"

Then open applications with gksu by hitting Shift+Enter

Apart from that, your custom command should appear on top, because its weight in history will increase, the more often you use it.

And finally you can always put a wrapper script in $PATH
