Close rofi window with Super key

[imsuck]

Currently I'm using ksuperkey to re-map Super to Shift+F9 (which I configured i3 to open rofi drun). However when rofi is open, ksuperkey fails re-map Super to Shift+F9 (according my fuzzy memory it used to work?).

I have tried to bind Super alone and keycode [133] (from xev) with no success.

rofi -show keys -kb-cancel '[133]'

works for me.

@imsuck You should use rofi -show keys -kb-cancel 'Shift+F9' since ksuperkey sends that binding.

I installed ksuperkey to test, and it works.

I figured with how rofi grabs the keyboard, that might not work. Good to hear.

This is what I get after running the commands below, press Super then Shift+F9.

killall ksuperkey
/usr/bin/ksuperkey -t 250 -e "Super_L=Shift_L|F9"
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=IMDKit /usr/bin/rofi -show drun -kb-cancel "Shift+F9"

Not sure what's happening because Shift+F9 was in my config and it used to work.

Turns out I have fcitx5 running and that broke rofi. Which repo should I report this bug in?
