rofi gives the following message: Mode keys not enabled. Please add it to the list of enabled modi: combi,drun

rofi allows you to, at run time, switch between multiple modi (default keybinding Ctrl-Tab). With -show you indicate the mode you want to select when opening. If the mode is not in the list, rofi will complain, but still show it. To solve this warning, add your view to the -modi list.

Setup keybinding for rofi in unity.

Go to Control panel, keyboard then shortcuts. Then on the left select custom shortcuts. Click the + button and enter name + command you want to run (f.e. rofi -show run). Click apply. Now by double clicking disable and hitting the desired key combo you can assign a keybinding.
