Boomer captures the program launcher rofi about boomer HOT 11 CLOSED

It's probably happening because the launcher doesn't die immediately after starting the application. Possible solutions:

1. Add an optional delay to the boomer
2. Make boomer wait for some kind of event (for example, key press)

@jappeace hey! We introduced a delay flag in #94. Please let me know if it works for you?

Hi @rexim, I tested it out, unfortunately I don't think it works in rofi, it does work in the terminal. But I bound it to a key in i3 and now everything works perfectly. You don't have to fix this for me at least.

@jappeace what version of rofi do you use btw?

from boomer.

1.5.4

When I tried boomer with the delay from rofi it just wouldn't start.
In any case I suspect the bug is because of the compositor (compton) having a fade-out effect.

What was the command line you typed into rofi?

from boomer.

try launching it not from a combi mode, but plain run mode.

@SolitudeSF yeah that works, but why?

from boomer.

combi cant know what mode the text you enter belongs to unless it strictly matches, so it does nothing instead.

@jappeace if your problem is resolved, please close this issue.
