NAME
       rofi-sensible-terminal -  launches $TERMINAL with fallbacks


SYNOPSIS
       rofi-sensible-terminal [arguments]


DESCRIPTION
       rofi-sensible-terminal is invoked in the rofi default config to start a
       terminal. This wrapper script is necessary since there is no
       distribution-independent terminal launcher (but for example Debian has
       x-terminal-emulator). Distribution packagers are responsible for
       shipping this script in a way which is appropriate for the
       distribution.


       It tries to start one of the following (in that order):


              o $TERMINAL (this is a non-standard variable)

              o x-terminal-emulator

              o urxvt

              o rxvt

              o st

              o terminology

              o qterminal

              o Eterm

              o aterm

              o uxterm

              o xterm

              o roxterm

              o xfce4-terminal.wrapper

              o mate-terminal

              o lxterminal

              o konsole

              o alacritty

              o kitty

              o wezterm
