ROFI-KEYS(5)

NAME

rofi keys - Rofi Key and Mouse bindings

DESCRIPTION

rofi supports overriding of any of it key and mouse binding.

Setting binding

Bindings can be done on the commandline (-{bindingname}):

    rofi -show run -kb-accept-entry 'Control+Shift+space'

or via the configuration file:

    configuration {
      kb-accept-entry: "Control+Shift+space";
    }

The key can be set by its name (see above) or its keycode:

    configuration {
      kb-accept-entry: "Control+Shift+[65]";
    }

An easy way to look up keycode is xev(1).

Multiple keys can be specified for an action as a comma separated list:

    configuration {
      kb-accept-entry: "Control+Shift+space,Return";
    }

By Default rofi reacts on pressing, to act on the release of all keys prepend the binding with !:

    configuration {
      kb-accept-entry: "!Control+Shift+space,Return";
    }

Unsetting a binding

To unset a binding, pass an empty string.

    configuration {
      kb-clear-line: "";
    }
