ROFI 1 rofi
NAME
rofi - A window switcher, application launcher, ssh dialog, dmenu replacement and more
SYNOPSIS
rofi [ -show mode ]|[ -dmenu ]|[ -e msg ] [ CONFIGURATION ]
DESCRIPTION
rofi is an X11 pop-up window switcher, run dialog, dmenu replacement, and more. It focuses on being fast to use and have minimal distraction. It supports keyboard and mouse navigation, type to filter, tokenized search and more.
USAGE
rofi's main functionality is to assist in your workflow, allowing you to quickly switch
between windows, start applications or log into a remote machine via ssh
.
There are different modi for different types of actions.
rofi can also function as (drop-in) replacement for dmenu(1).
Running rofi
To launch rofi directly in a certain mode, specify a mode with rofi -show <mode>
.
To show the run
dialog:
rofi -show run
Emulating dmenu
rofi can emulate dmenu(1) (a dynamic menu for X11) when launched with the -dmenu
flag.
The website for dmenu
can be found here.
rofi does not aim to be 100% compatible with dmenu
. There are simply too many different flavors of dmenu
.
The idea is that the basic usage command-line flags are obeyed, theme-related flags are not.
Besides, rofi offers some extended features (like multi-select, highlighting, message bar, extra key bindings).
Display Error message
rofi error dialog can also be called from the command line.
rofi -e "my message"
Markup support can be enabled, see CONFIGURATION options.
CONFIGURATION
There are currently three methods of setting configuration options (evaluated in order below):
- System configuration file (for example
/etc/rofi.rasi
). It first checks XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and then SYSCONFDIR (that is passed at compile time). It loads the first config file it finds, it does not merge multiple system configuration files. - Rasi theme file: The new theme format can be used to set configuration values.
- Command-line options: Arguments passed to rofi.
To get a template config file run: rofi -dump-config > config.rasi
This will contain (commented) all current configuration options, modified options are uncommented.
The configuration system supports the following types:
- string
- integer (signed and unsigned)
- char
- boolean
- lists
For the syntax of these options see the rofi-theme(5) manpage.
For use on the commandline, Boolean options have a non-default command-line syntax. Example to enable option X:
-X
To disable option X:
-no-X
Below is a list of the most important options:
General
-help
The help option shows the full list of command-line options and the current set values. These include dynamic (run-time generated) options.
-version
Show the rofi version and exit.
-dump-config
Dump the current active configuration, in rasi format, to stdout and exit. Information about the rasi format can be found in the rofi-theme(5) manpage.
-dump-theme
Dump the current active theme, in rasi format, to stdout and exit.
-rasi-validate
filename
Try to parse the file and return 0 when successful, non-zero when failed.
-threads
num
Specify the number of threads rofi should use:
-
0: Autodetect the number of supported hardware threads.
-
1: Disable threading
-
2..N: Specify the maximum number of threads to use in the thread pool.
Default: Autodetect
-display
display
The X server to contact. Default is $DISPLAY
.
-dmenu
Run rofi in dmenu mode. This allows for interactive scripts.
In dmenu
mode, rofi reads from STDIN, and output to STDOUT.
A simple example, displaying three pre-defined options:
echo -e "Option #1\nOption #2\nOption #3" | rofi -dmenu
Or get the options from a script:
~/my_script.sh | rofi -dmenu
-show
mode
Open rofi in a certain mode. Available modes are window
, run
, drun
, ssh
, combi
.
The special argument keys
can be used to open a searchable list of supported key bindings
(see KEY BINDINGS)
To show the run-dialog:
rofi -show run
If -show
is the last option passed to rofi, the first enabled modi is shown.
-modi
mode1,mode2
Specify an ordered, comma-separated list of modes to enable.
Enabled modes can be changed at runtime. Default key is Ctrl+Tab
.
If no modes are specified, all configured modes will be enabled.
To only show the run
and ssh
launcher:
rofi -modi "run,ssh" -show run
Custom modes can be added using the internal script
mode. Each such mode has two parameters:
<name>:<script>
Example: Have a mode called 'Workspaces' using the i3_switch_workspaces.sh
script:
rofi -modi "window,run,ssh,Workspaces:i3_switch_workspaces.sh" -show Workspaces
Notes: The i3 window manager does not like commas in the command when specifying an exec command. For that case '#' can be used as an separator.
TIP: The name is allowed to contain spaces:
rofi -modi "My File Browser:fb.sh" -show "My File Browser"
-case-sensitive
Start in case sensitive mode.
This option can be changed at run-time using the -kb-toggle-case-sensitivity
key binding.
-cycle
Cycle through the result list. Default is 'true'.
-filter
filter
Filter the list by setting text in input bar to filter
-config
filename
Load an alternative configuration file.
-cache-dir
filename
Directory that is used to place temporary files, like history.
-scroll-method
method
Select the scrolling method. 0: Per page, 1: continuous.
-normalize-match
Normalize the string before matching, so o will match ö, and é matches e. This is not a perfect implementation, but works. For now it disabled highlighting of the matched part.
-no-lazy-grab
Disables lazy grab, this forces the keyboard being grabbed before gui is shown.
-no-plugins
Disable plugin loading.
-plugin-path
directory
Specify the directory where rofi should look for plugins.
-show-icons
Show application icons in drun
and window
modes.

-fallback-application-icon
Specify an icon to be used when the application icon in run/drun are not yet loaded or is not available.
-markup
Use Pango markup to format output wherever possible.
-normal-window
Make rofi react like a normal application window. Useful for scripts like Clerk that are basically an application.
-[no-]steal-focus
Make rofi steal focus on launch and restore close to window that held it when launched.
Matching
-matching
method
Specify the matching algorithm used. Current the following methods are supported.
-
normal: match the int string
-
regex: match a regex input
-
glob: match a glob pattern
-
fuzzy: do a fuzzy match

Layout and Theming
IMPORTANT:
In newer rofi releases, all the theming options have been moved into the new theme format. They are no longer normal
rofi options that can be passed directly on the commandline (there are too many).
Small snippets can be passed on the commandline: rofi -theme-str 'window {width: 50%;}'
to override a single
setting. They are merged into the current theme.
They can also be appended at the end of the rofi config file to override parts of the theme.
Most of the following options are deprecated and should not be used. Please use the new theme format to customize rofi. More information about the new format can be found in the rofi-theme(5) manpage.
-location
Specify where the window should be located. The numbers map to the following locations on screen:
1 2 3
8 0 4
7 6 5
Default: 0
-fixed-num-lines
Keep a fixed number of visible lines (See the -lines
option.)
-sidebar-mode
Open in sidebar-mode. In this mode a list of all enabled modes is shown at the bottom.
(See -modi
option)
To show sidebar, use:
rofi -show run -sidebar-mode -lines 0
-hover-select
Automatically select the entry the mouse is hovering over. This option is best combined with custom mouse bindings. To utilize hover-select and accept an entry in a single click, use:
rofi -show run -hover-select -me-select-entry '' -me-accept-entry MousePrimary
-eh
number
Set row height (in chars) Default: 1
-auto-select
When one entry is left, automatically select it.

Select monitor to display rofi on. It accepts as input: primary (if primary output is set), the xrandr output name, or integer number (in order of detection). Negative numbers are handled differently:
-
-1: the currently focused monitor.
-
-2: the currently focused window (that is, rofi will be displayed on top of the focused window).
-
-3: Position at mouse (overrides the location setting to get normal context menu behavior.)
-
-4: the monitor with the focused window.
-
-5: the monitor that shows the mouse pointer.
Default: -5
See rofi -h
output for the detected monitors, their position, and size.

-multi-select
Allow multiple lines to be selected. Adds a small selection indicator to the left of each entry.
-sync
Force rofi mode to first read all data from stdin before showing the selection window. This is original dmenu behavior.
Note: the default asynchronous mode will also be automatically disabled if used with conflicting options,
such as -dump
, -only-match
or -auto-select
.
-async-pre-read
number
Reads the first number entries blocking, then switches to async mode. This makes it feel more 'snappy'.

directory: "/some/directory";
/**
* Sorting method. Can be set to:
* - "name"
* - "mtime" (modification time)
* - "atime" (access time)
* - "ctime" (change time)
*/
sorting-method: "name";
/** Group directories before files. */
directories-first: true;
}
}
Other
-drun-use-desktop-cache
Build and use a cache with the content of desktop files. Usable for systems with slow hard drives.
-drun-reload-desktop-cache
If drun-use-desktop-cache
is enabled, rebuild a cache with the content of desktop files.
-drun-url-launcher
command
Command to open a Desktop Entry that is a Link.
-pid
path
Make rofi create a pid file and check this on startup. The pid file prevents multiple rofi instances from running simultaneously. This is useful when running rofi from a key-binding daemon.
-display-{mode}
string
Set the name to use for mode. This is used as prompt and in combi-browser.
It is now preferred to use the configuration file:
configuration {
{mode} {
display-name: *string*;
}
}
-click-to-exit
-no-click-to-exit
Click the mouse outside of the rofi window to exit.
Default: enabled
PATTERN
To launch commands (for example, when using the ssh launcher), the user can enter the used command-line. The following keys can be used that will be replaced at runtime:
{host}
: the host to connect to{terminal}
: the configured terminal (see -terminal-emulator){ssh-client}
: the configured ssh client (see -ssh-client){cmd}
: the command to execute{window}
: the window ID of the selected window (inwindow-command
)
DMENU REPLACEMENT
If argv[0]
(calling command) is dmenu, rofi will start in dmenu mode.
This way it can be used as a drop-in replacement for dmenu. Just copy or symlink rofi to dmenu in $PATH
.
ln -s /usr/bin/rofi /usr/bin/dmenu

To get a full list of key bindings on the commandline, see rofi -h
.
The options starting with -kb
are keybindings.
Key bindings can be modified using the configuration systems.
To get a searchable list of key bindings, run rofi -show keys
.
A key binding starting with !
will act when all keys have been released.
Available Modi
window
Show a list of all the windows and allow switching between them.
Pressing the delete-entry
binding (shift-delete
) will close the window.
Pressing the accept-custom
binding (control-enter
or shift-enter
) will run a command on the window.
(See option window-command
);
If there is no match, it will try to launch the input.
windowcd
Shows a list of the windows on the current desktop and allows switching between them.
Pressing the delete-entry
binding (shift-delete
) will kill the window.
Pressing the accept-custom
binding (control-enter
or shift-enter
) will run a command on the window.
(See option window-command
);
If there is no match, it will try to launch the input.
run
Shows a list of executables in $PATH
and can launch them (optional in a terminal).
Pressing the delete-entry
binding (shift-delete
) will remove this entry from the run history.
Pressing the accept-custom
binding (control-enter
) will run the command as entered in the entry box.
Pressing the accept-alt
binding (shift-enter
) will run the command in a terminal.
When pressing the mode-complete
binding (Control-l
), you can use the File Browser mode to launch the application
with a file as the first argument.
drun
Same as the run launches, but the list is created from the installed desktop files. It automatically launches them
in a terminal if specified in the Desktop File.
Pressing the delete-entry
binding (shift-delete
) will remove this entry from the run history.
Pressing the accept-custom
binding (control-enter
) will run the command as entered in the entry box.
Pressing the accept-alt
binding (shift-enter
) will run the command in a terminal.
When pressing the mode-complete
binding (Control-l
), you can use the File Browser mode to launch the application
passing a file as argument if specified in the desktop file.
The DRUN mode tries to follows the XDG Desktop Entry Specification and should be compatible with applications using this standard. Some application create invalid desktop files, rofi will discard these entries. See de debugging section how to get more information from the DRUN mode, this will print why desktop files are discarded.
There are two advanced options to tweak the behaviour:
configuration {
drun {
/** Parse user desktop files. */
parse-user: true;
/** Parse system desktop files. */
parse-system: false;
}
}
ssh
Shows a list of SSH targets based on your ssh
config file, and allows to quickly ssh
into them.
keys
Shows a searchable list of key bindings.
script
Allows custom scripted Modi to be added, see the rofi-script(5) manpage for more information.
combi
Combines multiple modi in one list. Specify which modi are included with the -combi-modi
option.
When using the combi mode, a !bang can be used to filter the results by modi.
All modi that match the bang as a prefix are included.
For example, say you have specified -combi-modi run,window,windowcd
. If your
query begins with the bang !w
, only results from the window
and windowcd
modi are shown, even if the rest of the input text would match results from run
.
If no match, the input is handled by the first combined modi.
FAQ
The text in the window switcher is not nicely aligned.
Try using a mono-space font.
The window is completely black.
Check quotes used on the command-line: you might have used “
("smart quotes") instead of "
("machine quotes").
What does the icon in the top right show?
The indicator shows:
` ` Case insensitive and no sorting.
`-` Case sensitivity enabled, no sorting.
`+` Case insensitive and Sorting enabled
`±` Sorting and Case sensitivity enabled"
EXAMPLES
Some basic usage examples of rofi:
Show the run dialog:
rofi -modi run -show run
Show the run dialog, and allow switching to Desktop File run dialog (drun
):
rofi -modi run,drun -show run
Combine the run and Desktop File run dialog (drun
):
rofi -modi combi -show combi -combi-modi run,drun
Combine the run and Desktop File run dialog (drun
), and allow switching to window switcher:
rofi -modi combi,window -show combi -combi-modi run,drun
Pop up a text message claiming that this is the end:
rofi -e "This is the end"
Pop up a text message in red, bold font claiming that this is still the end:
rofi -e "<span color='red'><b>This is still the end</b></span>" -markup
Show all key bindings:
rofi -show keys
Use qalc
to get a simple calculator in rofi:
rofi -show calc -modi "calc:qalc +u8 -nocurrencies"
i3
In i3 you want to bind rofi to be launched on key release. Otherwise, it cannot grab the keyboard. See also the i3 manual:
Some tools (such as import
or xdotool
) might be unable to run upon a KeyPress event, because the keyboard/pointer is
still grabbed. For these situations, the --release
flag can be used, as it will execute the command after the keys have
been released.

DEBUGGING
To debug it is smart to first try disabling your custom configuration:
-no-config
Disable parsing of configuration. This runs rofi in stock mode.
If you run custom C plugins, you can disable them using:
-no-plugins
Disables the loading of plugins.
To further debug the plugin, you can get a trace with (lots of) debug information. This debug output can be enabled for multiple parts in rofi using the glib debug framework. Debug domains can be enabled by setting the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable. At creation of this page the following debug domains exists:
- all: Show debug information from all domains.
- X11Helper: The X11 Helper functions.
- View: The main window view functions.
- Widgets.Box: The Box widget.
- Dialogs.DMenu: The dmenu mode.
- Dialogs.Run: The run mode.
- Dialogs.DRun: The desktop file run mode.
- Dialogs.Window: The window mode.
