Hi!

I'm using sway with Wayland and bemenu

So i want change pycharm entry in bemenu to

export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 && pycharm

How I can do it?

pycharm.desktop isn't the solution

Re: [SOLVED]Add a export command to bemenu entry

You really should just export that variable from your shell profile prior to even launching sway.

The "systemd way" would be to set it in ~/.config/environment.d/myenv.conf (or any other filename).

Re: [SOLVED]Add a export command to bemenu entry

That "systemd way" is rather silly as then you'd need to use yet another systemd command to import that environment ... e.g., into your shell profile.  Skip the middle man - especially when the middle man is excessively complicated for no reason at all.

I did in .bashrc and ~/.profile but when I'm lunching over bemenu it's doesn't work with config in sway and mod+p as shortcut it's works like a charm

I honestly do not know what you mean. For me it is set without running any command.

It's set for systemd user services and anything launched from them.  But if you start a compositor from a tty, it will not be set unless you have specifically done something to import that environment.

Post those files and explain how you start sway.

Re: [SOLVED]Add a export command to bemenu entry

I start sway with GDM or SDDM.

[morta@lapt0p ~]$ cat /home/morta/.bashrc
#
# ~/.bashrc
#

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

if [ "$XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP" = "sway" ] ; then
    # https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/595
    export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
fi

[morta@lapt0p ~]$ cat  ~/.profile
if [ "$XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP" = "sway" ] ; then
    # https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/595
    export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
fi

Re: [SOLVED]Add a export command to bemenu entry

... from your shell profile prior to even launching sway.

if [ "$XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP" = "sway" ]...

Do you see the problem here?  The code in that conditional block will almost never execute (you'd have to take special steps to start a terminal emulator to start a login shell).

But if you are using display manager(s) this may not actually be relevant.  You'd need to set it somewhere the display manager would pick it up ... I can't help with display managers.

Re: [SOLVED]Add a export command to bemenu entry

~/.profile might be sourced, but I'd be way less confident about $XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP being set ahead of the session (and when this is sourced)
You'd probably want to edit /usr/share/wayland-sessions/sway.desktop

Re: [SOLVED]Add a export command to bemenu entry

Because that's not legal desktop service syntax.

man env

How did you cook up that nonsense?
There's a asynopsis in the manpage and you can frankly also just google how to use "env"…
