<h1 id="rofi-dmenu5">rofi-dmenu(5)</h1>
<h2 id="name">NAME</h2>
<p><strong>rofi dmenu mode</strong> - Rofi dmenu emulation</p>
<h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>To integrate <strong>rofi</strong> into scripts as simple selection dialogs,
<strong>rofi</strong> supports emulating <strong>dmenu(1)</strong> (A dynamic menu for X11).</p>
<p>The website for <code>dmenu</code> can be found <a href="http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>rofi</strong> does not aim to be 100% compatible with <code>dmenu</code>. There are simply too
many flavors of <code>dmenu</code>. The idea is that the basic usage command-line flags
are obeyed, theme-related flags are not. Besides, <strong>rofi</strong> offers some extended
features (like multi-select, highlighting, message bar, extra key bindings).</p>
<h2 id="basic-concept">BASIC CONCEPT</h2>
<p>In <code>dmenu</code> mode, <strong>rofi</strong> reads data from standard in, splits them into
separate entries and displays them. If the user selects a row, this is printed
out to standard out, allowing the script to process it further.</p>
<p>By default separation of rows is done on new lines, making it easy to pipe the
output a one application into <strong>rofi</strong> and the output of rofi into the next.</p>
<h2 id="usage">USAGE</h2>
<p>By launching <strong>rofi</strong> with the <code>-dmenu</code> flag it will go into dmenu emulation
mode.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">ls | rofi -dmenu
</code></pre>
<h3 id="dmenu-drop-in-replacement">DMENU DROP-IN REPLACEMENT</h3>
<p>If <code>argv[0]</code> (calling command) is dmenu, <strong>rofi</strong> will start in dmenu mode.
This way, it can be used as a drop-in replacement for dmenu. Just copy or
symlink <strong>rofi</strong> to dmenu in <code>$PATH</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">ln -s /usr/bin/rofi /usr/bin/dmenu
</code></pre>
<h3 id="dmenu-vs-script-mode">DMENU VS SCRIPT MODE</h3>
<p>Script mode is used to extend <strong>rofi</strong>, dmenu mode is used to extend a script.
The two do share much of the same input format. Please see the
<strong>rofi-script(5)</strong> manpage for more information.</p>
<h3 id="dmenu-specific-commandline-flags">DMENU SPECIFIC COMMANDLINE FLAGS</h3>
<p>A lot of these options can also be modified by the script using special input.
See the <strong>rofi-script(5)</strong> manpage for more information about this syntax.</p>
<p><code>-sep</code> <em>separator</em></p>
<p>Separator for <code>dmenu</code>. Example: To show a list of 'a' to 'e' with '|' as a
separator:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">echo &quot;a|b|c|d|e&quot; | rofi -sep '|' -dmenu
</code></pre>
<p><code>-p</code> <em>prompt</em></p>
<p>Specify the prompt to show in <code>dmenu</code> mode. For example, select 'monkey',
a,b,c,d, or e.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">echo &quot;a|b|c|d|e&quot; | rofi -sep '|' -dmenu -p &quot;monkey&quot;
</code></pre>
<p>Default: <em>dmenu</em></p>
<p><code>-l</code> <em>number of lines to show</em></p>
<p>Maximum number of lines the menu may show before scrolling.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">rofi -dmenu -l 25
</code></pre>
<p>Default: <em>15</em></p>
<p><code>-i</code></p>
<p>Makes <code>dmenu</code> searches case-insensitive</p>
<p><code>-a</code> <em>X</em></p>
<p>Active row, mark <em>X</em> as active. Where <em>X</em> is a comma-separated list of
python(1)-style indices and ranges, e.g. indices start at 0, -1 refers to the
last row with -2 preceding it, ranges are left-open and right-close, and so on.
You can specify:</p>
<ul>
<li>A single row: '5'</li>
<li>A range of (last 3) rows: '-3:'</li>
<li>4 rows starting from row 7: '7:11' (or in legacy notation: '7-10')</li>
<li>A set of rows: '2,0,-9'</li>
<li>Or any combination: '5,-3:,7:11,2,0,-9'</li>
</ul>
<p><code>-u</code> <em>X</em></p>
<p>Urgent row, mark <em>X</em> as urgent. See <code>-a</code> option for details.</p>
<p><code>-only-match</code></p>
<p>Only return a selected item, do not allow custom entry.
This mode always returns an entry. It will not return if no matching entry is
selected.</p>
<p><code>-no-custom</code></p>
<p>Only return a selected item, do not allow custom entry.
This mode returns directly when no entries given.</p>
<p><code>-format</code> <em>format</em></p>
<p>Allows the output of dmenu to be customized (N is the total number of input
entries):</p>
<ul>
<li>'s' selected string</li>
<li>'i' index (0 - (N-1))</li>
<li>'d' index (1 - N)</li>
<li>'q' quote string</li>
<li>'p' Selected string stripped from Pango markup (Needs to be a valid string)</li>
<li>'f' filter string (user input)</li>
<li>'F' quoted filter string (user input)</li>
</ul>
<p>Default: 's'</p>
<p><code>-select</code> <em>string</em></p>
<p>Select first line that matches the given string</p>
<p><code>-mesg</code> <em>string</em></p>
<p>Add a message line below the filter entry box. Supports Pango markup. For more
information on supported markup, see
<a href="https://docs.gtk.org/Pango/pango_markup.html">here</a></p>
<p><code>-dump</code></p>
<p>Dump the filtered list to stdout and quit.
This can be used to get the list as <strong>rofi</strong> would filter it.
Use together with <code>-filter</code> command.</p>
<p><code>-input</code> <em>file</em></p>
<p>Reads from <em>file</em> instead of stdin.</p>
<p><code>-password</code></p>
<p>Hide the input text. This should not be considered secure!</p>
<p><code>-markup-rows</code></p>
<p>Tell <strong>rofi</strong> that DMenu input is Pango markup encoded, and should be rendered.
See <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/stable/pango-markup-language.html">here</a>
for details about Pango markup.</p>
<p><code>-multi-select</code></p>
<p>Allow multiple lines to be selected. Adds a small selection indicator to the
left of each entry.</p>
<p><code>-sync</code></p>
<p>Force <strong>rofi</strong> mode to first read all data from stdin before showing the
selection window. This is original dmenu behavior.</p>
<p>Note: the default asynchronous mode will also be automatically disabled if used
with conflicting options,
such as <code>-dump</code>, <code>-only-match</code> or <code>-auto-select</code>.</p>
<p><code>-window-title</code> <em>title</em></p>
<p>Set name used for the window title. Will be shown as Rofi - <em>title</em></p>
<p><code>-w</code> <em>windowid</em></p>
<p>Position <strong>rofi</strong> over the window with the given X11 window ID.</p>
<p><code>-keep-right</code></p>
<p>Set ellipsize mode to start. So, the end of the string is visible.</p>
<p><code>-display-columns</code></p>
<p>A comma seperated list of columns to show.</p>
<p><code>-display-column-separator</code></p>
<p>The column separator. This is a regex. </p>
<p><em>default</em>: '\t'</p>
<p><code>-ballot-selected-str</code> <em>string</em></p>
<p>When multi-select is enabled, prefix this string when element is selected.</p>
<p><em>default</em>: "☑ "</p>
<p><code>-ballot-unselected-str</code> <em>string</em></p>
<p>When multi-select is enabled, prefix this string when element is not selected.</p>
<p><em>default</em>: "☐ "</p>
<p><code>-ellipsize-mode</code> (start|middle|end)</p>
<p>Set ellipsize mode on the listview.</p>
<p><em>default</em> "end"</p>
<h2 id="parsing-row-options">PARSING ROW OPTIONS</h2>
<p>Extra options for individual rows can be also set. See the <strong>rofi-script(5)</strong>
manpage for details; the syntax and supported features are identical.</p>
<h2 id="return-value">RETURN VALUE</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>0</strong>: Row has been selected accepted by user.</li>
<li><strong>1</strong>: User cancelled the selection.</li>
<li><strong>10-28</strong>: Row accepted by custom keybinding.</li>
