Before opening a feature request

  • I checked the next branch to see if the feature has already been implemented
  • I searched existing reports to see if it is already requested.

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

I need to write a lua plugin for a software (xournal++) using a system to select an item in a moderately large set of objects. Rofi is exactly what I need here (via echo 'foo\nbar' | rofi -dmenu), but I want my plugin to be usable also in non-linux environments since my plugin targets teachers and teachers don't always use linux. I was however sad to see that rofi provides no releases for windows or mac os, and I guess that it would be really stupid to fork rofi just for this.

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

I need to write cross-platform scripts/plugins.

Who will benefit from it?

Any non-linux users that may benefit from my scripts or rofi in general.

Rofi version (rofi -v)

2.0.0

Configuration & Information

NA
