ROFI-SENSIBLE-TERMIN(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

    • termite

    • urxvt

    • rxvt

    • terminator

    • Eterm

    • aterm

    • xterm

    • gnome-terminal

    • roxterm

    • xfce4-terminal

Please don’t complain about the order: If the user has any preference, she will have $TERMINAL set or modified her rofi configuration file.
