-config rofi-spotlight/rofi.rasi
```

#### Recommendation

+ Install `fd` for faster file searching. Defaults to `find` if not installed.

#### Available commands:

Just type them on rofi search bar:

+ **`:help`** to print the help message  
+ **`:h`** or **`:hidden`** to show hidden files/directories  
+ **`:xdg XDGDIR`** to jump to an xdg directory  

Examples:

```
:xdg DOCUMENTS
:xdg DOWNLOADS

# Also supports incomplete path. Examples:

:xdg doc 	# Same as :xdg DOCUMENTS
:xdg down 	# Same as :xdg DOWNLOADS

# For more info about XDG dirs, see:
# man xdg-user-dir
```

**File search syntaxes:**
+ **`!<search_query>`** to search for a file and web suggestions  
+ **`?<search_query>`** to search parent directories  

Examples:

```
!half-life 3
?portal 3
```

**Web search syntaxes:**

+ **`!<search_query>`** to get a search suggestions  
+ **`:web <search_query>`** to also to gets search suggestions  
+ **`:webbro <search_query>`** to search directly from your browser  

Examples:

```
!how to install archlinux
:web how to install gentoo
:webbro how to install wine in windowsxp
```

#### TODOs:

- [x] Web search support
- [x] Cleaner bash script

#### Notes:

+ This is not a file manager nor a web browser. This is a file/web-searching rofi. Nothing else.
+ Default rofi design is better with blur. Rofi's appearance can be change in `rofi.rasi`. It uses CSS syntax. More info by executing `man rofi-theme` in your terminal emulator.
