NAME¶

tofi - Tiny dynamic menu for Wayland, inspired by rofi(1) and dmenu(1).

SYNOPSIS¶

tofi [options...]

tofi-run [options...]

tofi-drun [options...]

DESCRIPTION¶

tofi is a tiny dynamic menu for Wayland compositors supporting the layer-shell protocol. It reads newline-separated items from stdin, and displays a graphical selection menu. When a selection is made, it is printed to stdout.

When invoked via the name tofi-run, tofi will not accept items on stdin, instead presenting a list of executables in the user's $PATH.

When invoked via the name tofi-drun, tofi will not accept items on stdin, and will generate a list of applications from desktop files as described in the Desktop Entry Specification.

WARNING: In the last version of tofi, when a selection was made in drun mode, the filename of the selected desktop file was printed to stdout. In the current version of tofi, this has changed to an executable command line, to be passed to swaymsg exec or similar. Consequently, the --drun-print-exec does nothing, and may be removed in a future version of tofi.

OPTIONS¶

-h, --help

-c, --config <path>

All config file options described in tofi(5) are also accepted, in the form --key=value.
