How to add a custom mode

[JohanChane]

I like the feature like xfce4-appfinder --collapsed which i can search the command of starting program in desktop entries after i just install the program. And I have Implemented the feature by write a shell script.

exec.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [[ -z "$*" ]];then
    dex  -ad -s /usr/share/applications/:~/.local/share/applications/:/etc/xdg/autostart/:~/.config/autostart/|cut -c `expr length 'Executing command: A'`-
else
    nohup $* >/dev/null 2>&1 &
    exit $?
fi

rofi -show drun -modi drun,run,exec:~/.config/rofi/exec.sh,keys,file-browser,window,ssh

I want to add a mode exec. and the start commad is:

rofi -show drun -modi drun,run,exec,keys,file-browser,window,ssh

So, how to config ?

I am not sure what the question is, this is correct syntax for 'modi' and will work both on commandline as adding it to config:

rofi -show drun -modi drun,run,exec:~/.config/rofi/exec.sh,keys,file-browser,window,ssh

configuration {
   modi: "drun,run,exec:~/.config/rofi/exec.sh,keys,file-browser,window,ssh";
}

I had an obsession for unified command. Let it goes. I just want to know how to config a custom mode like default modes, which don't need to specify a file in command.

I do not understand the question?
Your custom mode is a script called by the script mode. You need to tell script mode what script to execute, this you need to do when defining the mode (name:script). There is no other way.
( If the used script is in $PATH, you don't need to specify full path).

For using the script mode, this is the only solution.
