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
