# 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 stdout.

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**.

# KEYS

\<Up\> \| \<Left\> \| \<Ctrl\>-k

> Move the selection back one entry.

\<Down\> \| \<Right\> \| \<Ctrl\>-j \| \<Tab\>

> Move the selection forward one entry.

\<Ctrl\>-u

> Delete line.

\<Ctrl\>-w \| \<Ctrl\>-\<Backspace\>
