~scoopta/wofi#169: prompt text not shown without selection options

In i3 I have used rofi as a nicer looking replacement for nagbar by hijacking the dmenu-mode and no prompt line:

rofi -dmenu -lines 0 -p 'New name'

This shows a single input line with the "New name" prompt contained.

The equivalent with wofi unfortunately doesn't work that way

wofi --dmenu --lines 0 --prompt 'New name'

line 0 does not limit the number of shown (empty) lines and without selection options passed in using stdin, no prompt text is shown here. Can this be added to wofi?

Kind regards and thanks for wofi Johannes

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 0 should display only the input box, like Rofi.

I can probably fix the prompt issue trivially(I hope), I'm not so sure about --lines 0 I'll look into both if I have time. I might start trying to work on addressing the open issues here, no promises but it could be good for me to work on wofi again.
