How to set number of clips shown when using rofi

[fretzo]

Hi, and thank you for this great software, it is very useful !!!

I would like to set the number of clips shown when using rofi.

I can set this when using dmenu, but not in rofi (and i use rofi for everything else ...).

This is what i have tried so far:

setting the below environment variable, but it doesn't work:
CM_HISTLENGHT=20

and trying to pass dmenu options to rofi, the prompt option works, but not the line one:
CM_LAUNCHER=rofi clipmenu -p clipboard -l 20

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks again

CM_HISTLENGTH is gone in clipmenu 7, use -l.

You pass options to rofi the same way you do to dmenu: as arguments to clipmenu itself.

the prompt option works, but not the line one

Weird. I don't see why it wouldn't. Note that in the case of rofi, clipmenu automatically prepends -- -demnu to the arguments:

clipmenu/src/clipmenu.c

Lines 47 to 51 in 2baa44c

	case LAUNCHER_ROFI:
	cmd[d_i++] = "rofi";
	cmd[d_i++] = "--";
	cmd[d_i++] = "-dmenu";
	break;

Maybe this is causing some issue? (I don't use rofi, so not sure).
