Normally I just give rofi the -keep-right flag to see the end of the line but not working with calc. Here I can't see the second result.

Frankly not sure. @DaveDavenport could you provide a little input on this one?

DaveDavenport commented 2 years ago

Not sure why my feedback is needed? but I can muse:

  1. keep-right is a dmenu option (see man rofi-dmenu), it does not apply here.
  2. Use a less horizontally challenged theme?
  3. Use a smaller font
  4. Use the -kb-ellipsize keybinding to make the other parts of the string visible?

Yes I figured that later on. 😅

Did not know such a binding existed. Would use it from now on. 👍 For anyone else who might not know about this binding with Alt+period you can toggle between ellipsized modes.
