Rofi is a window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rofi, like dmenu, will provide the user with a textual list of options where
|
|
|
|
|
one or more can be selected. This can either be running an application,
|
|
|
|
|
selecting a window, or options provided by an external script.

Rofi started as a clone of simpleswitcher, written by Sean Pringle - a popup
|
|
|
|
|
window switcher roughly based on superswitcher. Simpleswitcher laid the
|
|
|
|
|
foundations, and therefore Sean Pringle deserves most of the credit for this
|
|
|
|
|
tool. Rofi (renamed, as it lost the simple property) has been extended with
|
|
|
|
|
extra features, like an application launcher and ssh-launcher, and can act as
|
|
|
|
|
a drop-in dmenu replacement, making it a very versatile tool.
