Wayland support
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Apparently #151 was closed because the OP lost interest in it. However, I am currently trying to use rofi-pass on wayland (sway) and it almost works: rofi renders fine but no password is typed. In the console I see this:
/bin/rofi-pass: line 162: xset: command not found
/bin/rofi-pass: line 163: xset: command not found
/bin/rofi-pass: line 181: xset: command not found
There is simply nothing we can do: jordansissel/xdotool#282
There is the ydotool, which in theory works, but it a) requires root access to some device node and b) is not complete because I didn't feel like working on it because of a)

I am currently using the ydotool branch which does work, but it has to be added to the input group (I agree that root access is a bit scary).
As an alternative, wtype+wl-clipboard seems that it could work instead of using ydotool+xclip.. wtype does not require root like ydotool does and functions similar to xdotool.
I can try to have a go at it to see if I can figure something out.
Hi @faulesocke, not sure if you're still looking for a solution but you may wanna try tessen. Kind of a shameless plug but rofi-pass not working was one of the deal breakers for me as well when I switched to sway.
