## Aliases

### Usage

Remember to have a valid `$TERMINAL` set on system or change the `TERMINAL=` line on `rofi-aliases.sh`.

To get a list of aliases:

```bash
rofi -modi "aliases:./rofi-aliases.sh" -show aliases
```

or, to use in combination with run:

```bash
rofi -combi-modi run,"aliases:./rofi-aliases.sh" -show combi
```

# A rofi mode script that allows bash aliases to be run
# by Adnan Shameem. License: MIT (Expat)
#
# Usage:
# - Download this into a dir
# - Make sure it's executable: chmod +x rofi-aliases.sh
# - Make sure you have $TERMINAL set or change the "TERMINAL=" line below
# - Run: rofi -modi "aliases:./rofi-aliases.sh" -show aliases
# or, use this to include both run and alias options: rofi -combi-modi run,"aliases:./rofi-aliases.sh" -show combi

# Handle input
# Important! It has to be before anything else is done in the script.
# Otherwise it will keep reopening the menu indefinitely!
if [ ! -z "$@" ]; then
if [ -z "$TERMINAL" ]; then
# Fallback if $TERMINAL is not set
# Set this to anything you like
