I think the problem is that the double-quotes are messing with each other
in your lazy.spawn. Looking at the code, the computer sees two strings with
some invalid text between the two:
*"rofi -modi "*clipboard:greenclip print*" -show clipboard -run-command
'{cmd}' "*
To fix this, you need to tell the computer to ignore your inner quotation
marks like so:
"rofi -modi *\"*clipboard:greenclip print*\"* -show clipboard -run-command
'{cmd}' "
Tell me if that works!
