I think for most people, Fuzzel will be the best choice, but compeitors offer unique features like Rofi-compatibility, HTML formatting support or the most important one: being written in Rust.
Nice, I implemented the script to rename the workspace in Sway on my PC! I suggest to also write the option –width 50 to fuzzel, so the text field is large enough to see what you are writing.
The banner says “This project is not being actively maintained. It does still receive some updates from time to time but nothing frequent.”
It’s fine for a project to reach “maturity” and quit getting updated much, but the Wofi docs, interface and features still seem like they could use some polish.
It’s open source, so anyone else is always welcome to use the current state as a base to build on if they prefer to.
Aside from Wofi’s support for Pango/HTML/CSS, I don’t see a reason to use it over Fuzzel, though.
I think wofi looks great and it works for me. I use it with pywal’s wallpaper theme generated css. I haven’t seen many alternatives having this level of visual configuration.
I’ll look into fuzzel but I remember last time I looked I was let down by the visuals of most of these alternatives. If it doesn’t look good I’d rather use the sway built in drun thing.
