Tested to work now. Thanks!

I have tested this, and can't confirm that it is working as intended. I used this window format and then tried the window switcher:
window_format = "{app_name:{:<11.11}} “{title:{:<60.60}...}” on {workspace_name:{:<13.13}}\u0000icon\u001f{app_icon}"I then carefully made sure I was using the newly built binaries and restarted the swayrd service.
I launched two fish shells in terminals on the same workspace and confirmed that they had the same string displayed my picker, Fuzzel-- I expected one of the entries to have the unique string added to them, but neither one did.

Thanks for the reply.
Your suggestion to include an ID only when necessary to uniquely identify a window would also be welcome and would address the goal in most cases.
Good idea!

In pickers the window ID is only there for Swayr's benefit-- it is visual clutter for the user, but there's a way to remove it.
A number of pickers support an "index mode" that returns the index of the item selected rather than the text selected. The feature exists for tools like swayr to build more attractive menus. It would be used like this:
- Swayr's config is set to use index mode
- Swayr holds an array in memory of all the window IDS.
- Swayr sends the list of lines to display to the picker in index mode without displaying the window ID.
- The picker sends back the index of the line selected (0-indexed).
- Swayr uses the index to lookup the window ID in the in-memory array.
Here's the syntax to use the feature in some common pickers:
- fuzzel --dmenu --index
- rofi -dmenu -format i
- dmenu --index
Bemenu and wofi don't seem to support this option.
The current behavior can remain as option for pickers without index mode.

Fuzzel added this feature.
See an example here in the window anchoring section: https://mark.stosberg.com/fuzzel-1-10/

There's a hint about Rofi icons:
"rofi supports icons with the syntax "\u0000icon\u00001f", so a suitable window_format with application icon should end with "\u0000icon\u001f".
There, conflicting escape codes are used (\u00001f the first time \u001f the second). Also, it's confusing to use when the actual syntax is {app_icon}. So the fixed hint is:
"rofi supports icons with the syntax "\u0000icon\u001f", so a suitable window_format with application icon should end with "\u0000icon\u001f{app_icon}".
Also, "fuzzel" now supports supports the same syntax in dmenu mode as well if you want to mention that.

Hi!
This after attempting to install using the AUR:

Ok, so the build succeeds.

check() { cd $pkgname-$pkgver RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable HOME=. cargo test --release --locked --target-dir=target }The error message indicates that cargo wants absolute paths but by the virtue of the PKGBUILD setting HOME=. (i.e., a relative path specifying the current directory), it fails. You could try modifying the PKGBUILD and replace HOME=. with HOME=
pwdwhich should probably have the same effect but specifies the current directory as absolute path.In any case, that's a bug of the AUR package, not swayr itself. I don't maintain the AUR package myself. I'll report it there.

Comment by ~markstos on ~scoopta/wofi
I miss these features from Rofi as well.
The primary one this issue is about is the one in the title.
The second issue which could be split into a separate issue report is that
--lines 0should display only the input box, like Rofi.
