MBP 8,1 (2011-2012) newly installed Archlabs system (5 days ago) with Openbox, Fluxbox and I3-gaps.
Earlier on I have been very fond of obmenu-generator but now I am trying to learn how to use I3 (gaps) and have come to the conclusion that Rofi is a fantastic tool/app… etc.
I am just starting to get to know Rofi and I noticed that I can’t use “scandivavian” characters in Rofi. Is that possible to fix?
MAN says that Rofi supports international keyboards but I haven’t found how to make it possible!
On Arch-wiki there was a suggestion to install rxvt-unicode and logout-login but that didnt do anything.
On Arch-wiki there was also som members talking about pros and cons with .conf-file or no .conf-file.
Rofi seems to be a multi-use app and complicated but I sometimes refuse to accept my amatheur status!
I have been active at trying to configure keyboard from arch-wiki.
localectl seems to be the most efficient way. Messed up a few times but managed to get where I was from the beginning! Still no swedish characters in Rofi.
I think the problem is in Rofi itself. It’s set in us-eng. Can it be changed?
Yes that’s right.
I do not understand Rofi at all! MAN says it’s utf-8 compatible. Doesn’t that say that it should be set from system?
I have read for hours (manuals gits hints you name it) but howhere a mention about how/where to set language!
Thanks!
I have read that a few times now and I do not get any wiser!
It doesn’t say anything about language more than that is utf-8 supported and I thought that It meant that it wold take the language from system. It’s actually the only app that doesn’t on my system! (Probably why I am lost!)
You run “myrofi” instead of “rofi” in this case. You certainly can make the changes in user or system level settings. I am just not sure if that key binding conflicts with other settings.
