A collection of useful custom utilities based on rofi, fully written in bash syntax.
- nerd-fonts (all utils)
- xdotool (rofi-todo-list)
- xclip (rofi-screenshot)
- pinta (rofi-screenshot)
Just clone this repository and set a shortcut for each script.
git clone git@github.com:twoojoo/rofi-utils.gitI personally use the following shortcuts (set via i3wm config file):
- Alt+Enter: rofi-chromium-bookmarks
- Shift+Enter: rofi-window-switcher
- Ctrl+Alt+Enter: rofi-path-launcher
- Ctrl+Shift+Enter: rofi-todo-list
- Ctrl+Shift+e: rofi-system-menu
- Ctrl+Alt+x: rofi-tmuxinator
- Ctrl+Alt+s: rofi-screenshot
By reading a json config file launch applications by poviding them saved custom paths as arguments
- default config file: ~/.rofi-path-launcher.config.json (will be created at the first run if doesn't exist yet)
- can add or remove programs and paths directly form the rofi menu (edit option to be implemented)
- example config (<path> is a placeholder for the selected path):
{
"CodeOSS": {
"command": "code <path>",
"paths": [
"~/Scripts/rofi",
"~/Projects/dotfiles"
]
},
"SublimeText4": {
"command": "subl <path>",
"paths": [
"~/Scripts/rofi",
"~/Projects"
]
},
"Kate": {
"command": "kate <path>",
"paths": [
"~/Notes"
]
}
}Automatically reads saved Chromium bookmarks and provide a menu for them
-
options:
- -f|--bookmarks-file <path>: use a different bookmarks file. Must have the same structures of Chromium's one (default: $HOME/.config/chromium/Default/Bookmarks)
- -b|--alt-browser <browser>: provide an alternative browser (its command) to open the urls (e.g. -b firefox, -b konqueror, -b lynx, etc...)
- -c|--post-command <cmd>: execute a command after the bookmark is opened (I personally use this option to immediately switch to the workspace that contains the Chromium window)
- -d|--debug: run in debug mode
-
gets bookmarks both from bookmark_bar and other bookmark folders (custom folders not yet implemented)
-
bookmarks naming:
-
be sure that bookamarks names are unique among all bookmarks folders
-
for some reason, if a bookmark name contains more than 1 consective space character, the script won't be able to match the name with the url. Try to avoid this situation. Maybe this could be fixed in the script itself.
-
I find very proficient to use this pattern when naming bookmarks:
Personal/Utils/<my-company-name> - <website-name> [- <section-name>]
(e.g. "Personal - Gmail", "Personal - Github", "Personal - Github - Repositories", "Utils - Base64 - Encode", "Utils - Base64 - Decode", etc...)
This helps a lot keeping them tidy in the rofi menu.

-
todo:
- implement a remove option (an add options is also possible but it's way more easy to create the bookmark from the chromium tab itself)
- fix consecutive space char bug
Just picks the tmuxinator coniguration files from ~/.tmuxinator folder, and allow to select one of them (for now requires alacritty to be installed).
A basyc, yet effective, to-do list completely handled by a set of rofi menus.
- default config file: $HOME/.rofi-todo-list.config.json
- todo:
- add priorities
Just a wrapper around the native rofi window mode to use the same theme as the other scripts.
A basic menu to poweroff, reboot or logout.
All the scripts will use the theme.rasi file that is placed in the same directory.
