If anyone prefers the dmenu look and feel, there's also bemenu

and there is also wofi for rofi.

And there's lbonn's fork of rofi with native wayland support. It opens faster than wofi.

Edit: https://github.com/lbonn/rofi

It's in some repos available as rofi-wayland.

Didn't know about that. Nice one.

Yes, and it's pretty good, if not as flexible as rofi.

And dmenu-wayland.

Been using this with Sway since the start of the year, and it's been wonderful.

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a go.

The thing I miss from rofi is the ssh/mosh support with history. I haven't been able to replicate that on any of the other alternatives.

I initially missed SSH support from Rofi, but just changed my workflow to open a terminal and then use Fish with the history autocomplete history to quickly select a host to SSH to.
