rofi-sensible-terminal − launches $TERMINAL with fallbacks
rofi−sensible−terminal [arguments]
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.
