NAME

rofi-sensible-terminal - launches $TERMINAL with fallbacks

SYNOPSIS

rofi-sensible-terminal [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

rofi-sensible-terminal is invoked in the rofi default config to start a terminal. This wrapper script is necessary since there is no distribution-independent terminal launcher (but for example Debian has x-terminal-emulator). Distribution packagers are responsible for shipping this script in a way which is appropriate for the distribution.

It tries to start one of the following (in that order):

  • $TERMINAL (this is a non-standard variable)
  • x-terminal-emulator
  • urxvt
  • rxvt
  • st
  • terminology
  • qterminal
  • Eterm
  • aterm
  • uxterm
  • xterm
  • roxterm
  • xfce4-terminal.wrapper
  • mate-terminal
  • lxterminal
  • konsole
  • alacritty
  • kitty
