    I think that apart from not installing the dependencies, both problems that you have faced in your machine (zsh-bash conflict, headless machine) are beyond the scope of this script and need to be examined individually.

    At the end of the day, one could easily substitute rofi with fzf itself in the script, they do more or less the same job. I am not certain rofi is your main obstacle here.

      I tried to substitute rofi with fzf in vim, and when I try Preferences - it says 😕 Selection canceled...

      My main goal was to use this program on my server which has no GUI and I can access it from anywhere. For example, I successfully use newsboat and neomutt remotely. When I saw TUI, I thought I could use that too headless, but you may wanna put a disclaimer that the script requires a GUI application rofi.

      Anyways, thanks for the project, I will keep an eye on it if it keeps developing, great idea! While troubleshooting this program I came across ytfzf that also supposedly supports subscriptions and seems like can work headlessly

        This is clearly stated in the instructions, and in the dependencies.

        You might consider always read the instructions before installing anything.
