tofi(1) General Commands Manual tofi(1) NAME tofi - Tiny dynamic menu for Wayland, inspired by rofi(1) and dmenu(1). SYNOPSIS tofi [options...] tofi-run [options...] tofi-drun [options...] DESCRIPTION tofi is a tiny dynamic menu for Wayland compositors supporting the layer- shell protocol. It reads newline-separated items from stdin, and displays a graphical selection menu. When a selection is made, it is printed to std- out. When invoked via the name tofi-run, tofi will not accept items on stdin, instead presenting a list of executables in the user's $PATH. When invoked via the name tofi-drun, tofi will not accept items on stdin, and will generate a list of applications from desktop files as described in the Desktop Entry Specification. OPTIONS -h, --help Print help and exit. -c, --config <path> Specify path to custom config file. All config file options described in tofi(5) are also accepted, in the form --key=value.
