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

-
