NAME
rofi keys - Rofi Key and Mouse bindings

DESCRIPTION
rofi supports overriding of any of it key and mouse binding.

Setting binding
Bindings can be done on the commandline (-{bindingname}):

        rofi -show run -kb-accept-entry 'Control+Shift+space'

or via the configuration file:

        configuration {
          kb-accept-entry: "Control+Shift+space";
        }

The key can be set by its name (see above) or its keycode:

        configuration {
          kb-accept-entry: "Control+Shift+[65]";
        }

An easy way to look up keycode is xev(1).

Multiple keys can be specified for an action as a comma separated list:

        configuration {
          kb-accept-entry: "Control+Shift+space,Return";
        }

By Default rofi reacts on pressing, to act on the release of all keys prepend the binding with !:

        configuration {
          kb-accept-entry: "!Control+Shift+space,Return";
        }

Unsetting a binding
To unset a binding, pass an empty string.

        configuration {
          kb-clear-line: "";
        }
