Sway dmenu not working and rofi too

Hello,

Downloaded the latest iso.
Install with archinstall Sway.
I stared sway, with #mod# + Enter I can open the terminal, but when I press the keys for the menu nothing appends.
Dmenu is installed replaced it with rofi, same menu not open, no error.

Both dmenu and rofi are xorg clients that would mandate an installed xorg-xwayland package. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sway#A … _launchers

Alternatively, use a launcher made for wayland like bmenu.
