Rofi tips and tricks I've found
Customising rows (icons, meta)¶
You can add icons and invisible search terms easily to your rows in Rofi.
See man rofi-script and the Parsing row options section for options you can customise on a row (snippet below):
Extra options for individual rows can be set. The extra option can be specified following the same syntax as mode option, but following the entry.
For example:
echo -en "aap\0icon\x1ffolder\n"
The following options are supported:
icon: Set the icon for that row.meta: Specify invisible search terms.nonselectable: If true the row cannot activated.info: Info that, on selection, gets placed in the ROFI_INFO environment variable. This entry does not get searched.
Multiple entries can be passed using the \x1f separator:
echo -en "aap\0icon\x1ffolder\x1finfo\x1ftest\n"
