# Rofi
A popup window switcher roughly based on [superswitcher](http://code.google.com/p/superswitcher/), requiring only xlib and xft.
This version is based on the version from [Sean
Pringle](http://github.com/seanpringle/simpleswitcher). All credit for this great tool should go to him.
* Switcher centered on screen (or monitor for multi-head).
* Vertical list with two columns:
1. Window class.
2. Window title.
* Controls like dmenu:
* Type to filter windows.
* Tokonized filter. Type any word in any order to filter.
* Arrows to highlight selections.
* Return to select.
* Rudimentary run dialog
* Type to filter.
* Tokonized filter. Type any word in any order to filter.
* Arrows to highlight selections.
* Return to select.
* Shift-Return to run in terminal.
* Runs in background or once-off.
If compiled with I3 support, it should autodetect if I3 window manager is running.

e.g.
bindsym $mod+Tab exec rofi -now -font "snap-10" -fg "#505050" -bg "#000000" -hlfg "#ffb964" -hlbg "#000000" -o 85
Switching Between Modi
----------------------
Type '?' (enter) to switch from Window list mode to Run mode and back.
