There is a flow launcher available on Windows, and I would like to create a similar experience on Linux with Rofi.

I have modes in Flow:

d – File manager.

o – Open note in obsidian

vpn – change vpn

v – change audio device

u – uninstall app

etc.

1. How can I enter modes and they will offer lists? I know lists can be sent in mode. But how can I change modes by typing without using hotkeys or run from terminal?
2. We need a smooth transition between modes, so sending lists with mods is not good. Because to activate them, we need to press enter and we will have to make additional scripts to go back, and this is not so convenient.
3. Also, we don’t want to see mods in the list, we should only print them. 
   enter image description here
4. After that, they should suggest their actions. Like in flow-launcher.

If you have any ideas, please share. I want to create an app, but don’t know how. The only solution is to write an application yourself using FZF and Curses in Python.

I only need the live mode change mechanism in rofi. I just need change modes typing some combination.
