# 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.
