rofi-sensible-terminal(1)

NAME

rofi-sensible-terminal - launches $TERMINAL with fallbacks

SYNOPSIS

rofi-sensible-terminal [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

rofi-sensible-terminal is invoked in the rofi default config to start a terminal. This wrapper script is necessary since there is no distribution-independent terminal launcher (but for example Debian has x-terminal-emulator). Distribution packagers are responsible for shipping this script in a way which is appropriate for the distribution.

It tries to start one of the following (in that order):

    •   $TERMINAL (this is a non-standard variable)

    •   x-terminal-emulator

    •   urxvt

    •   rxvt

    •   st

    •   terminology

    •   qterminal

    •   Eterm

    •   aterm

    •   uxterm

    •   xterm

    •   roxterm

    •   xfce4-terminal.wrapper

    •   mate-terminal

    •   lxterminal

    •   konsole

    •   alacritty

    •   kitty

    •   wezterm
