OPTIONS¶
font=font
Font to use. If
font is a path to a font file,
tofi will not have to use Pango or Fontconfig. This greatly speeds up
startup, but any characters not in the chosen font will fail to render.
If a path is not given, font is interpreted as a font name
in Pango format.
Default: "Sans"
font-size=pt
Point size of text.
Default: 24
background-color=color
Color of the background. See
COLORS for more
information.
Default: #1B1D1E
outline-width=px
Width of the border outlines.
Default: 4
outline-color=color
Color of the border outlines. See
COLORS for more
information.
Default: #080800
border-width=px
Width of the border.
Default: 12
border-color=color
Color of the border. See

information.

text-color=color
Color of text. See
COLORS for more information.
Default: #FFFFFF
prompt-text=string
Prompt text.
Default: "run: "
num-results=n
Maximum number of results to display. If
n = 0,
tofi will draw as many results as it can fit in the window.
Default: 0
selection-color=color
Color of selected result. See
COLORS for more
information.
Default: #F92672
selection-match-color=color
Color of the matching portion of the selected result.
This will not always be shown if the
fuzzy-match option is set to true.
Any color that is fully transparent (alpha = 0) will disable this
highlighting. See
COLORS for more information.
Default: #00000000
selection-padding=px
Extra horizontal padding of the selection background. If
px = -1, the padding will fill the whole window width.
Default: 0
selection-background=color
Background color of selected result. See
COLORS
for more information.
Default: #00000000
result-spacing=px
Spacing between results. Can be negative.
Default: 0
min-input-width=px
Minimum width of input in horizontal mode.
Default: 0
width=px|%
Width of the window. See
PERCENTAGE VALUES for
more information.
Default: 1280
height=px|%
Height of the window. See
PERCENTAGE VALUES for
more information.
Default: 720
corner-radius=px
Radius of the window corners.
Default: 0
anchor=position
Location on screen to anchor the window. Supported values
are
top-left,
top,
top-right,
right,
bottom-right,
bottom,
bottom-left,
left, and
center.
Default: center
output=name
The name of the output to appear on, if multiple outputs
are present. If empty, the compositor will choose which output to display the
window on (usually the currently focused output).
Default: ""
scale=true|false
Scale the window by the output's scale factor.
WARNING: In the next version of tofi, this will default to
true, so set this to false now if you don't want that behaviour. Note that
currently, font scaling will still occur when this is set to false -
that will change when true becomes the default.
Default: false
margin-top=px|%
Offset from top of screen. See
PERCENTAGE VALUES
for more information. Only has an effect when anchored to the top of the
screen.
Default: 0
margin-bottom=px|%
Offset from bottom of screen. See
PERCENTAGE
VALUES for more information. Only has an effect when anchored to the
bottom of the screen.
Default: 0
margin-left=px|%
Offset from left of screen. See
PERCENTAGE VALUES
for more information. Only has an effect when anchored to the left of the
screen.
Default: 0
margin-right=px|%
Offset from right of screen. See
PERCENTAGE VALUES
for more information. Only has an effect when anchored to the right of the
screen.
Default: 0
padding-top=px|%
Padding between top border and text. See
PERCENTAGE
VALUES for more information.
Default: 8
padding-bottom=px|%
Padding between bottom border and text. See
PERCENTAGE
VALUES for more information.
Default: 8
padding-left=px|%
Padding between left border and text. See
PERCENTAGE
VALUES for more information.
Default: 8
padding-right=px|%
Padding between right border and text. See
PERCENTAGE
VALUES for more information.
Default: 8
hide-cursor=true|false
Hide the cursor.
Default: false
horizontal=true|false
List results horizontally.
Default: false
history=true|false
Sort results by number of usages in run and drun modes.
Default: true
fuzzy-match=true|false
If true, searching is performed via a simple fuzzy
matching algorithm. If false, substring matching is used, weighted to favour
matches closer to the beginning of the string.
Default: false
drun-launch=true|false
If true, directly launch applications on selection when
in drun mode. Otherwise, just print the path of the .desktop file to stdout.
Default: false
drun-print-exec=true|false
WARNING: In the current version of tofi, this
option has changed to always be true and has no effect, as it should have been
from the start. It may be removed in a future version of tofi.
Default: true.
hint-font=true|false
Perform font hinting. Only applies when a path to a font
has been specified via
font. Disabling font hinting speeds up text
rendering appreciably, but will likely look poor at small font pixel sizes.
Default: true
late-keyboard-init=true|false
Delay keyboard initialisation until after the first draw
to screen. This option is experimental, and will cause tofi to miss keypresses
for a short time after launch. The only reason to use this option is
performance on slow systems.
Default: false
