Version

Output of rofi -v

1.3.1

Configuration

Here.

Launch Command

rofi -modi combi,window,run,ssh -combi-modi window,run -show combi

Steps to reproduce

Step 1
Tab forward, works fine
Step 2
Try to Shift+Tab backward.

What behaviour you see

Nothing happens on the Shift+Tab press.

What behaviour you expect to see

It should go backward.

My notes & fix

It works when I add "Shift_L+ISO_Left_Tab" to the rofi.kb-row-up entry.

I'm on a Thinkpad T410. This might be a device-specific issue, I'm not very knowledgeable about keycode stuff (any good links appreciated!). Reporting it anyway so that, at worst, people can find this on Google.

Can you try without the 'Shift_L', I don't think that does anything.

so: rofi -kb-row-up 'ISO_Left_Tab' -show run

[milopiccolo]

Yes, I can confirm that this works.

Is the kb-row-up setting undocumented? The man page doesn't mention it, and there's not many references to it in the repo (basically, this issue is what made my find what I was looking for).

@hobarrera please next time make new bug report, don't add to other reports.

Quote from manpage:

To get a full list of keybindings on the commandline, see `rofi -dump-xresources | grep kb-`.
Keybindings can be modified using the configuration systems.
To get searchable list of keybindings, run `rofi -show keys`.                                

[WhyNotHugo]

Oh cool. My bad. Can we add Tab to the default keybindings listed on the README though?

[DaveDavenport]

@milopiccolo thanks for the report. I will add it to F.A.Q.
