About

Rofi Script Collection is a collection of scripts and their execution using a tool called Rofi. Rofi provides the user with a prompt to select the script to execute.

    • sudo apt install rofi
  • Arch
    • sudo pacman -S rofi
  • Fedora
    • sudo dnf install rofi

    • sudo apt install git
  • Arch
    • sudo pacman -S git

Installation

• Step 1: Install rofi and git (See Requirements)
• Step 2: Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/AfzGit/rofi-scripts-collection

• Step 3: Place the rofi-scripts folder wherever you want and give it execution permissions recursively.

# granting execution permission to the scripts in the folder
chmod 755 -R rofi-scripts-collection/rofi-scripts/

# Placing in home folder
mv rofi-scripts-collection/rofi-scripts/ ~

# Removing uneeded files
rm -rf rofi-scripts-collection/

• Step 4: Now add the shortcut to trigger rofi in your system settings (Check your desktop Environment’s custom shortcuts settings)

sh ~/rofi-scripts/$(ls -1 ~/rofi-scripts/ | rofi -scroll-method 1 -dmenu -i -p "Run:")

• Step 5: The installation has been done, now just press the shortcut key you assigned for the command above. To add more scripts, just put them in the rofi-scripts folder.

Notes

If your system runs FISH shell by default, use this shortcut instead for Step 4:

set -x selected (ls -1 ~/rofi-scripts/ | rofi -scroll-method 1 -dmenu -i -p "Run:") && sh ~/rofi-scripts/$selected
