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
