Other app launcher with sway

P

Hi all. new on this forum. :-). I've installed sway these last days on my personal PC (not my first experience with FreeBSD). everything was OK till I tried to installed some app launchers (like wofi, rofi, ...) for a better experience and effectiveness. none worked well. I restored dmenu (it was working initially) but now some apps (eg librewolf) do not launch even by command line 'librewolf --browser' (err: org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins' does not contain a key name 'antialisaing'). I thought about some mismatch with gnome apps I removed. but without results. some ideas that could help me. :-).
 
Thank you very much NapoleonWilson. I've installed tofi as suggested (following link to GitHub). it looks nice and suitable for me. but not fully solved unfortunatly. some apps are launching (eg. pcmanfm, lxappearance, spyder, maxima, avogadro...) and other not (librewolf (tried remove and re-install), swaysettings, Desktop Preferences, video, ...). in fact, got err Desktop manager is not active when trying to launch Desktop Preferences.
 
hi mate

did you install tofi using the freebsd package

Code: 
sudo pkg install tofi

i have never had any issue with tofi not launching applications
even applications in a linux or freebsd jail
 
exact with pkg. I fear some mismatch with gnome apps I installed before as gnome-tweaks (tried to remove all gnome-apps). for example I got err "org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings does not contain a key name 'antialiasing', glib assertion" when trying to launch "librewolf" by CLI (or "librewolf --safe-mode"). I think that not proper to tofi. finally works with Iridium (sorry librewolf). it seems to be slightly intrusive from forums. so could be fine for me. I will try now to implement your custom tofi.config. Thank you very much for advices. :-).
