commands with options without showing in rofi

[hboetes]

Perhaps somebody will like this idea; I wrote this little hack so rofi can open programs without having to see the whole thing to the command line.

So here is my menu config

firefox
anydesk;flatpak run com.anydesk.Anydesk
gqview
pavucontrol
remmina;remmina -i
scid
zoom;flatpak run us.zoom.Zoom
signal;flatpak run org.signal.Signal
rustdesk;flatpak run org.rustdesk.rustdesk
easyeffects
thunderbird
freetube

And the idea is that rofi will show rustdesk, but will execute flatpak run org.rustdesk.rustdesk. Here is the script that makes it work, which I saved in ~/.bin/dmenu

#!/bin/sh
dmenu_list="$HOME/.config/sway/dmenu_progs"

# First find the name of the prog to start
prog=$(awk -F ';' '! /^#/ {print $1}' "$dmenu_list" | rofi -fake-transparency -dmenu)
# Then find what to actually execute
exe=$(awk -F ';' "/^$prog;/"' {print $2}' "$dmenu_list")
# If exe is empty
[ -z "$exe" ] && exe="$prog"
echo "$exe"

And of course I have a line in my sway config:

bindsym $mod+d exec $(~/.bin/dmenu)
