Can you provide more information? Does rofi report an error to stdout/stderr when launched via sxhkd.

(I don't use it myself, but people use rofi with sxhkd).

Did you install from my dotfiles?
Using setup.sh

[DaveDavenport]

not using setup.sh but I did copy the relevant config files.

[rhs96]

I'll try to re-install Arch another time and test it with my setup.sh. If I have the problem again, I'll give up.

Thanks for the support, Dave!

[DaveDavenport]

No problem. I hope you can get it resolved, please keep me informed.

[rhs96]

Hey! Now it's works fine. New Arch installation.

Thanks for the support!

[DaveDavenport]

I installed the sxhkd and it works fine for me (the shift + r rofi -show drun worked).

Moved to discussion as I don't think this is directly a rofi bug.
