I am trying to replace Dmenu with Rofi but any alterations to my config file have zero effects. To start I used the setup wizard and ran:
mkdir ~/.i3
and then:
cp /etc/i3/config ~/.i3/config
After that I entered the config file at "~/.i3/comfig" and replaced the section on Dmenu with Rofi. After saving the file I did mod+d and Dmenu still opened. I edited the file again to have a different command in case it was a problem with Rofi but even still "mod+d" would open Dmenu. This is currently the edited section of my config file:
## start dmenu (a program launcher)
#Start rofi
bindsym Mod1+d exec rofi -show run
#bindsym Mod1+d exec dmenu_run
There also is the (new) i3-dmenu-desktop which only displays applications
shipping a .desktop file. It is a wrapper around dmenu, so you need that
installed.
bindsym Mod1+d exec --no-startup-id i3-dmenu-desktop
ere
Even after retarting there was no effect. If anyone has any idea what could be causing this I would love to hear. Thank you.
