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

       •   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.
