# Rofi
A popup window switcher roughly based on [superswitcher](http://code.google.com/p/superswitcher/), requiring only xlib and xft.
This version is based on the version from [Sean
Pringle](http://github.com/seanpringle/simpleswitcher). All credit for this great tool should go to him.
Some of the features of rofi are:
* Switcher centered on screen (or monitor for multi-head).
* Vertical list with two columns:
1. Desktop number (optional, not shown in i3 mode)
2. Window class.
3. Window title.
* Controls like dmenu:
* Type to filter windows.
* Tokonized filter. Type any word in any order to filter.
* Arrows to highlight selections.
* Return to select.
* Rudimentary run dialog
* Type to filter.
* Tokonized filter. Type any word in any order to filter.
* Arrows to highlight selections.
* Return to select.
* Shift-Return to run in terminal.
* Favorites list.
* Quickly ssh into remote machines
* Parses ~/.ssh/config to find hosts.
* Runs in background or once-off.
* Drop in dmenu replacement.
If compiled with I3 support, it should autodetect if I3 window manager is running.
Usage
-----
e.g.
bindsym $mod+Tab exec rofi -now -font "snap-10" -fg "#505050" -bg "#000000" -hlfg "#ffb964" -hlbg "#000000" -o 85
Switching Between Modi
----------------------
Type '?' (enter) to switch from Window list mode to Run mode and back.
Compilation
-----------
If compiling from GIT, first run to generate the needed build files:
autoreconf --install
To build rofi, run the following steps:
mkdir build/
cd build/
../configure
make
make install
The build system will autodetect the i3 header file during compilation. If it fails, make sure you
have i3/ipc.h installed. Check config.log for more information.

* libx11
* libxinerama
* libxdg-basedir
* libxft
