Before opening a feature request

  • I checked the next branch to see if the feature has already been implemented
  • I searched existing reports to see if it is already requested.

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

Currently, the only way to close rofi is by either selecting something from the menu or pressing Esc.

I'm a very big noob to this, but is it not possible to just add a "button" that fills up the entire background of rofi to close the window? Imagine clicking anywhere "outside" the rofi window to close rofi. its not like you can click outside of rofi when its open anyway. (unless you use a script)

Again, I only got into linux like 3 days ago so bear with me haha!

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

its annoying having to reach for the escape button every time.

Who will benefit from it?

probably everyone
