Opening kando on hyprland does nothing. #323

Closed ShadeZerox closed 5 months ago

ShadeZerox commented 5 months ago

So I tried kando in three ways, firstly from the releases tab where trying to open kando by double clicking or just using ./kando command works but does nothing (not saying that the menu does nothing, but the menu or anything else doesn't appear). Nor is there any error.

Secondly I tried the npm install then npm start and same result.

Lastly tried AUR and again using the command did nothing and the menu didn't appear after ctrl + space.

(TBH, I feel like this might be a some dumb mistake I did or I probably forgot some dependency so sorry in advance)

Hi there! That's most likely not your mistake but rather lack of good documentation :sweat_smile:

Executing ./kando should print something. If it doesn't, Kando is most likely running already and hence the command quits immediately. Maybe one of your former attempts of running the app did work indeed. If you have some kind of system tray, you should see a status indicator.

You can run ./kando --help. This should print something even if another instance is already running. You can also tell the running instance to open a menu via ./kando --menu "Protype Menu".

To make the global hotkey work in Hyprland, you have to follow the steps outlined here: https://github.com/kando-menu/kando/pull/245

Does this help?

PS: I just added a console message which now will be shown when a second instance is launched.

Oh bruh, sorry for the late reply (I went distro hopping and just logged in). Just tried #245 and it worked, Thanks! I will try configuring it for my uses today.
