1.7.9

Custom commands on events

Giomatfois62 added a nice feature that allows you to execute a custom command
on different events. For example play a sound when accepting an entry.

See the
rofi-actions(5)
manpage for more information.

NVidia workaround workaround

Because of oddness in nvidia drivers, we had an issue the whole screen turned
black if we used the 'over' operator in cairo. Working around this caused some
drawing issues with anti-aliasing. There now exists two flags to to work around
this workaround again. Either disable the workaround, or disable anti-aliasing.

You can set these options per widget:

widget {
  border-disable-nvidia-workaround: true;
  border-aa: false;
}

It's recommended to set it globally.

* {
  border-disable-nvidia-workaround: true;
  border-aa: false;
}

IMDKit runtime disable option

Because IMDKit can break some keybindings, this can now be disabled at runtime.
For example if you try to bind only the 'Super' key, this can fix this.

For more information, see issue: #2124

Smartcase support

Thanks to Phanium, rofi now supports Vim style 'smartcase'. Can be enabled
using -case-smart.

Fore more information, see issue: #2060
