§Rofi ui manager
Spawn rofi windows, and parse the result appropriately.
§Simple example
use rofi;
use std::{fs, env};
let dir_entries = fs::read_dir(env::current_dir().unwrap())
.unwrap()
.map(|d| format!("{:?}", d.unwrap().path()))
.collect::<Vec<String>>();
match rofi::Rofi::new(&dir_entries).run() {
Ok(choice) => println!("Choice: {}", choice),
Err(rofi::Error::Interrupted) => println!("Interrupted"),
Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e)
}§Example of returning an index
rofi can also be used to return an index of the selected item:
use rofi;
use std::{fs, env};
let dir_entries = fs::read_dir(env::current_dir().unwrap())
.unwrap()
.map(|d| format!("{:?}", d.unwrap().path()))
.collect::<Vec<String>>();
match rofi::Rofi::new(&dir_entries).run_index() {
Ok(element) => println!("Choice: {}", element),
Err(rofi::Error::Interrupted) => println!("Interrupted"),
Err(rofi::Error::NotFound) => println!("User input was not found"),
Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e)
}§Example of using pango formatted strings
rofi can display pango format. Here is a simple example (you have to call
the self..pango function).
use rofi;
use rofi::pango::{Pango, FontSize};
use std::{fs, env};
let entries: Vec<String> = vec![
Pango::new("Option 1").size(FontSize::Small).fg_color("#666000").build(),
Pango::new("Option 2").size(FontSize::Large).fg_color("#deadbe").build(),
];
match rofi::Rofi::new(&entries).pango().run() {
Ok(element) => println!("Choice: {}", element),
Err(rofi::Error::Interrupted) => println!("Interrupted"),
Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e)
}§Example of using custom keyboard shortcuts with rofi
use rofi;
use std::{fs, env};
let dir_entries = fs::read_dir(env::current_dir().unwrap())
.unwrap()
.map(|d| format!("{:?}", d.unwrap().path()))
.collect::<Vec<String>>();
let mut r = rofi::Rofi::new(&dir_entries);
match r.kb_custom(1, "Alt+n").unwrap().run() {
Ok(choice) => println!("Choice: {}", choice),
Err(rofi::Error::CustomKeyboardShortcut(exit_code)) => println!("exit code: {:?}", exit_code),
Err(rofi::Error::Interrupted) => println!("Interrupted"),
Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e)
