Rofi Alt+Tab working flawlessly

[wellzenon]

Hey, I don't know if this is really the place, but I found a solution for the issue 38 which is now closed.

          rofi -modi window -show window -hide-scrollbar -padding 50 -line-padding 4 -auto-select \
          -kb-cancel "Alt+Escape,Escape" \
          -kb-accept-entry "!Alt-Tab,!Alt+Alt_L,Return"\
          -kb-row-down "Alt+Tab,Alt+Down" \
          -kb-row-up "Alt+ISO_Left_Tab,Alt+Up" \
          -selected-row 1 &
          while for did in $(xinput --list --id-only) ; do xinput query-state $did 2>/dev/null | grep down ; done | egrep -q . ; do sleep 0 ; done
          xdotool key --delay 0 Enter

The solution is a mix from #38 (comment) and https://superuser.com/a/1602025

you can do a no-action timeout to accept entry now in rofi directly ( see 1.7.0 release notes and/or documentation)

configuration {
  timeout {
      delay:  5;
      action: "kb-accept-entry";
  }
}

That's much better!

[DaveDavenport]

rofi -timeout-delay 5 -timeout-action "kb-accept-entry"

if you want to pass on cmdline.

rofi -timeout-delay 1 -timeout-action "kb-accept-entry"
did it for me, thank you! I couldn't get it working through the config file, though, and the style got reseted. Looking into it to find out what happened
