How does its startup time compare to other launchers (rofi or tofi for example)
I never actually measured it, but I switched to fuzzel from wofi, and I can’t tell the difference in reaction time. To me it feels instant.
I’ve tested them all and they all launch fairly immediately.
I discuss some of the other feature differences here:

I think for most people, Fuzzel will be the best choice, but compeitors offer unique features like Rofi-compatibility, HTML formatting support or the most important one: being written in Rust.
I’m a huge fan of fuzzel - can’t compliment it enough.
Love fuzzel—it’s pretty performant, even with a few thousand options to pick from.
noice! I just switched to using Fuzzel yesterday.
I’m still on bemenu since I used dmenu with dwm on X. I should probably check the others out.
Fuzzel is great. I only wish it had a pinentry option.
I should have read the article first – passphrases and pinentry are here
That’s right! We are just waiting for someone to focus a pinentry/fuzzel script now. All the necessary features are there it seems.
The script is there in the post, but I haven’t tried it yet. It would be nice if fuzzel had a message option, like rofi, so that key information could be displayed in the passphrases request; that s is what pinentry-rofi uses.
Yes. The message could be added to the prompt but it wouldn’t look the best.
It might be nice to have a way of giving more context, which is what the message option was good for in rofi. Not knocking it though, I am a happy fuzzel user.
You could add a feature request in the Fuzzel bug tracker. A screenshot of how it is used in Fuzzel could be helpful there.
Let me try for a pinentry script over the weekend first, to see how the placeholder looks.
There is a newish “placeholder text” option. It could be displayed there and disappear when typing starts.
It looks like I have a great place to land if fzf ever starts to make my life difficult. Thank you!
fzf has some unique features of its own, like multi-select. Maybe one day Fuzzel will add that.
