Launch command

rofi -show run

Step to reproduce

Step 1: Commands 1 run (start rofi and wvkbd): lisgd -d /dev/input/event13 -g "1,TR,*,*,R,notify-send next worksapce && rofi -show run && wvkbd-mobintl -L 300"

Commands 2 run (swipe right change workspace): lisgd -d /dev/input/event13 -g "1,RL,*,*,R,notify-send next worksapce && hyprctl dispatch workspace +1 "

Commands 3 run (swipe left change workspace): lisgd -d /dev/input/event13 -g "1,LR,*,*,R,notify-send next worksapce && hyprctl dispatch workspace -1 "

Step 2: swipe up the screen, 'rofi' is start running but 'wvkbd' doesn't run at the same time. And I can't start 'wvkbd' or other programs by clicking the button on 'waybar'. Swipe the screen left or right the workspace change runs normally.

Step 3: When i close the 'rofi', i can run 'wvkbd' by clicking the button on 'waybar'

Expected behavior

I want to type in rofi via the virtual on-screen keyboard, and scroll through the 'rofi' list via touch screen. SO, i need 'rofi' start with 'wvkbd' at the same time.

Actual behavior

'rofi' can't start with 'wvkbd' at the same time, and i can't start 'wvkbd' by clicking the button on waybar

wvkbd is a layer shell on top layer, whereas we are using overlay.

We already had discussions and back-and-forth here https://github.com/lbonn/rofi/issues/12. Might need some revisiting, possibly a configuration parameter as well.

You can also try to move wvkbd to overlay layer as well and see if it behaves better (haven't checked hyprland behavior in this case). You will need to recompile it.

Thanks, got it.

@awarewen I did not mean the bug / behavior is not valid, just tried to explore the reasons. Have you tried patching wvkbd and did it work?

i changed wvkbd's layer to OVERLAY,it doesn't work, when i open wvkbd and rofi at the same time, touch-screen isn't work.

Command runs 1 (open wvkbd and rofi at the same time)

Command runs 2 (swipe the screen R-to-L , only wvkbd working): lisgd -d /dev/input/event8 -g "1,RL,*,*,R,wvkbd-mobintl -L 300 && rofi -show drun && notify-send next worksapce "

Command runs 3 (like command 2): lisgd -d /dev/input/event8 -g "1,RL,*,*,R,notify-send next worksapce && wvkbd-mobintl -L 300 && rofi -show drun"

Command runs 4 (rofi first then is wvkbd, but it didn't running at the same time.) : lisgd -d /dev/input/event8 -g "1,RL,*,*,R,notify-send next worksapce && rofi -show drun && wvkbd-mobintl -L 300"
