rofi-sensible-terminal - Man Page

rofi-sensible-terminal [arguments]

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
• wezterm
