Rofi is a window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement.
|
|
|
|
Rofi, like dmenu, will provide the user with a textual list of options
|
|
where one or more can be selected. This can either be running an
|
|
application, selecting a window, or options provided by an external
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
Rofi started as a clone of simpleswitcher, written by Sean Pringle -
|
|
a popup window switcher roughly based on superswitcher. Simpleswitcher
|
|
laid the foundations, and therefore Sean Pringle deserves most of the
|
|
credit for this tool. Rofi (renamed, as it lost the simple property)
|
|
has been extended with extra features, like an application launcher
|
|
and ssh-launcher, and can act as a drop-in dmenu replacement, making
|
|
it a very versatile tool.
|

Note:
|
|
If you encounter this this non-fatal error when executing Rofi:
|
|
xkbcommon: ERROR: couldn't find a Compose file for locale <your locale>
|
|
|
|
You may need to open /etc/profile.d/lang.sh and uncomment UTF-8:
|
|
# en_US is the Slackware default locale:
|
|
export LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8
