[Screen touch Support] Can't Use Touch screen after rofi is running

[awarewen]

I use 'rofi' on a touchscreen device, but when rofi is running, the touch screen is completely unavailable and can only turn off 'rofi'.

-- Command

❯ lisgd -d /dev/input/event13 -g "1,TR,*,*,R,notify-send swiped lr && wofi --show run && wvkbd-mobintl -L 240"

Normally 'rofi' and 'wvkbd' should be turned on at the same time, and I can use the virtual keyboard for input, but sadly this is not possible.

I have tried rofi with touchscreen, but never with virtual keyboard.

Two questions:
1.) Can you try out launching rofi with -normal-window, does this make a difference?
2.) Can you give a bit more information about your setup. (rofi version, desktop environment, Xorg/Wayland, etc.)

[DaveDavenport]

wait, I only notice now.. You are using wofi? wofi != rofi.

[DaveDavenport]

Wofi is not rofi, wrong discussion forum.

Sorry for the late reply

-- Command run: lisgd -d /dev/input/event13 -g "1,RL,*,*,R,notify-send next worksapce && rofi -show run && wvkbd-mobintl -L 300"

Same like wofi.

thanks, I will try it.

[DaveDavenport]

You are already running that version of rofi, giving your recording.

I ran three commands, one is to swipe up the screen to open 'rofi' and 'wvkbd', and the other two control the workspace, but after starting 'rofi', the mouse click for 'waybar' fails and also cannot start 'wvkbd' at the same time, but then sliding left and right to change the workspace is effective.

[awarewen]

And the 'rofi' list itself doesn't respond to touch clicks or swipe up, which is not normal

[DaveDavenport]

rofi does not support wayland. I don't use it myself, I do not know how it works and I have no way to debug it.

It looks like you are not running this rofi, but the wayland port (linked above).
You do not provide information (even after asked), I need to deduce you using wayland, another rofi version, etc from your screenshots/recordings.

[awarewen]

Sorry I brought this issue in the wrong place, the 'x11' version 'rofi' works with 'wvkbd', I just tried it. Thank you very much for your reply. 😸
