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
