NAME¶
rofi-sensible-terminal - launches $TERMINAL with fallbacksSYNOPSIS¶
rofi-sensible-terminal [arguments]DESCRIPTION¶
rofi-sensible-terminal is invoked in the rofi default config to start a terminal. This wrapper script is necessary since there is no distribution-independent terminal launcher (but for example Debian has x-terminal-emulator). Distribution packagers are responsible for shipping this script in a way which is appropriate for the distribution.It tries to start one of the following (in that order):
•$TERMINAL (this is a non-standard variable)
•x-terminal-emulator
•termite
•urxvt
•rxvt
•terminator
•Eterm
•aterm
•xterm
•gnome-terminal
•roxterm
•xfce4-terminal
Please don’t complain about the order: If the user has any preference, she will have $TERMINAL set or modified her rofi configuration file.
