hide-cursor=true|false
Hide the mouse cursor.
Default: false
text-cursor=true|false
Show a text cursor in the input field.
Default: false
history=true|false
Sort results by number of usages. By default, this is
only effective in the run and drun modes - see the
history-file option
for more information.
Default: true
history-file=path
Specify an alternate file to read and store history
information from / to. This shouldn't normally be needed, and is intended to
facilitate the creation of custom modes. The default value depends on the
current mode.
Defaults:
- tofi: None (no history file)
- tofi-run: $XDG_STATE_HOME/tofi-history
- tofi-drun: $XDG_STATE_HOME/tofi-drun-history
fuzzy-match=true|false
If true, searching is performed via a simple fuzzy
matching algorithm. If false, substring matching is used, weighted to favour
matches closer to the beginning of the string.
Default: false
require-match=true|false
If true, require a match to allow a selection to be made.
If false, making a selection with no matches will print input to stdout. In
drun mode, this is always true.
Default: true
auto-accept-single=true|false
If true, automatically accept a result if it is the only
one remaining. If there's only one result on startup, window creation is
skipped altogether.
Default: false
hide-input=true|false
If true, typed input will be hidden, and what is
displayed (if anything) is determined by the
hidden-character option.
Default: false
hidden-character=char
Replace displayed input characters with
char. If
char is set to the empty string, input will be completely hidden. This
option only has an effect when
hide-input is set to true.
Default: *
drun-launch=true|false
If true, directly launch applications on selection when
in drun mode. Otherwise, just print the Exec line of the .desktop file to
stdout.
Default: false
terminal=command
The terminal to run terminal programs in when in drun
mode.
command will be prepended to the the application's command line.
This option has no effect if
drun-launch is set to true.
Default: the value of the TERMINAL environment variable
drun-print-exec=true|false
WARNING: This option does nothing, and may be
removed in a future version of tofi.
Default: true
late-keyboard-init=true|false
Delay keyboard initialisation until after the first draw
to screen. This option is experimental, and will cause tofi to miss keypresses
for a short time after launch. The only reason to use this option is
performance on slow systems.
Default: false
multi-instance=true|false
If true, allow multiple simultaneous processes. If false,
create a lock file on startup to prevent multiple instances from running
simultaneously.
Default: false
ascii-input=true|false
Assume input is plain ASCII, and disable some Unicode
handling functions. This is faster, but means e.g. a search for "e"
will not match "é".
Default: false
font=font
Font to use. If
font is a path to a font file,
tofi will not have to use Pango or Fontconfig. This greatly speeds up
startup, but any characters not in the chosen font will fail to render.
If a path is not given, font is interpreted as a font name
in Pango format.
Default: "Sans"
font-size=pt
Point size of text.
Default: 24
font-features=features
Comma separated list of OpenType font feature settings to
apply. The format is similar to the CSS "font-feature-settings"

caps (if supported by the chosen font).
Default: ""
font-variations=variations
Comma separated list of OpenType font variation settings
to apply. The format is similar to the CSS "font-variation-settings"
property. For example, "wght 900" will set the weight of a variable

space as an exclusive zone. Values greater than 0 are only meaningful when
tofi is anchored to a single edge.
