usb-rofi is a simple tool to help the management of USB flash drives using
the rofi app launcher and udev. It's composed by the udev rule usb-rofi.rules
and the script usb-rofi. The rule is responsible for trigger the script when
a new device is attached to the system, which in turn will prompt the user for
the action to be performed. The main usage for this tool is for tiling window
managers such as i3, dmw, bspwm, etc.
- udev
- rofi
- notify-send
$ make usb-rofi
$ sudo make installAfter the installation, the usb-rofi is ready to detect and notify the user
when a new flash drive is attached to the system. In order to improve the
usability, it’s recommended bind a hotkey to umount devices easily. In my case
(i3), would be something like this:
bindsym $mod+u exec "qsudo /usr/bin/usb-rofi -u"So far, the usb-rofi was tested only in void-linux.
