Hyprland - Wofi Duplicates if Keybind is Pressed Multiple Times Instead of Closing

Issues & Assistance Hyprland
1

Hey all, wondering if I can get some help with a quirk I’m experiencing, more annoying than an actual issue. So whenever I activate Wofi through the keyboard shortcut, it pops up as expected. But when I hit the keyboard shortcut again, I’m wanting it to close wofi, but instead a duplicate wofi appears layered on top of it. I’ve tested it up to 10 layers of wofi on top of each other.

I tried editing the keyboard to killall wofi instances before it gets executed but that didn’t work for me. Also searched the forum and search engine without finding anything related to this specific issue. Wondering if someone has come across this before and maybe knows of a fix.

Just don’t do it more than one time :slight_smile:
Press ESC. Or mouse click some where.

Check issue on github

Hm, not finding much on GH issues either… Searched wofi, duplicate, keybind(ing), etc

No worries, like I said, more of an annoyance than a full-blown issue. Just wanted to check if someone else had come across it and knew the solution since I couldn’t find one.

I don’t know if this is of help. I don’t like that about wofi and thats why I use fuzzel, instead.
Closing would be as easy as Ctrl+g if you are an emacs nerd or Esc, if your fingers are tall enough to get there.

I’ll check it out, thanks! I’m used to opening a window with a keybind, then hitting that keybind again to close it (after running KDE for so long), so more of a comfort/familiarity thing. It for me is just a faster workflow. :slight_smile:

6 
bind = $mainMod, Y, exec, killall wofi

works :slight_smile:
Best I can do in moment. :smiley:

From the Hyprland wiki

# Start wofi opens wofi on first press, closes it on second
bindr=SUPER, SUPER_L, exec, pkill wofi || wofi

press super first, release, press L

Missing the icons, but you can’t get it all :smiley:

Fun fact, I get to keep the icons! :partying_face:

This line works perfectly, and was exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much all @veitw for the suggestion!
I was digging in the Hyprland docs when I should’ve looked at the Arch docs. M’bad on that.
Here’s the config line that works great.

bind = $mainMod, D, exec, pkill wofi || wofi --normal-window --show drun --allow-images

Inspired by @veitw and @glomar_response

bindr=SUPER, SUPER_L, exec, pkill wofi || wofi --normal-window --show drun --allow-images

Just click only :penguin: “toggles” wofi, like KDE launcher. You folks are great.

By the way, I never pressed :penguin: + d for fun, but only when I needed it to open an app, so closing it directly never happened for me :smiley:
