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
andneomutt
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 applicationrofi
.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 headlesslyThis is clearly stated in the instructions, and in the dependencies.
