rofi-menu 0.2.2

Create rofi menus via python

rofi-menu

Rofi allows defining custom modes (see the spec).

This lib is a reference implementation with some extra "sugar".

Simple demo:

Installation

Using pip

$ pip install rofi-menu

Example

Create a python script which will be used for rofi mode e.g. example.py (don't forget to mark it as executable -- chmod +x ./example.py)

Assuming you installed rofi-menu into a virtual environment (let's say it's ~/.pyenv/versions/rofi/bin/python). Make sure shebang points to the right python executable, e.g. #!/home/user/pyenv/versions/rofi/bin/python.

#!/home/user/pyenv/versions/rofi/bin/python
import rofi_menu


class ProjectsMenu(rofi_menu.Menu):
    prompt = "Projects"
    items = [
        rofi_menu.BackItem(),
        rofi_menu.ShellItem("Project 1", "code-insiders ~/Develop/project1"),
        rofi_menu.ShellItem("Project 2", "code-insiders ~/Develop/project2"),
        rofi_menu.ShellItem("Project X", "code-insiders ~/Develop/projectx"),
    ]


class LogoutMenu(rofi_menu.Menu):
    prompt = "Logout"
    items = [
        rofi_menu.ShellItem("Yes", "i3-msg exit", flags={rofi_menu.FLAG_STYLE_URGENT}),
        rofi_menu.ExitItem("No", flags={rofi_menu.FLAG_STYLE_ACTIVE}),
    ]


class MainMenu(rofi_menu.Menu):
    prompt = "menu"
    items = [
        rofi_menu.TouchpadItem(),
        rofi_menu.NestedMenu("Projects >", ProjectsMenu()),
        rofi_menu.ShellItem(
            "Downloads (show size)", "du -csh ~/Downloads", show_output=True
        ),
        rofi_menu.NestedMenu("Second monitor", rofi_menu.SecondMonitorMenu()),
        rofi_menu.ShellItem("Lock screen", "i3lock -i ~/.config/i3/bg.png"),
        rofi_menu.ShellItem("Sleep", "systemctl suspend"),
        rofi_menu.NestedMenu("Logout", LogoutMenu()),
    ]


if __name__ == "__main__":
    rofi_menu.run(MainMenu())

Run it as:

$ rofi -modi mymenu:/path/to/example.py -show mymenu

It'll result in
