Use rofi to quickly open Visual Studio Code or Codium workspaces. Since I use it, I have more time to enjoy with my friends and family.

Just run rofi-code and a popup window should appear showing the list of all your workspaces. Get the list filtered by typing text, use the arrow keys to displace the cursor to the workspace you want to open, and press enter. That's it.

If you want to customize the behaviour you could use any of the options provided using the command line.

For a list of flags and options just type run rofi-code --help in your terminal:

foo@bar:~$ rofi-code --help usage: rofi-code [-h|--help] [-d|--dir "<value>"] [-s|--sort (time|path|name)]  [-f|--full] [-o|--output] [-r|--rofi "<value>"] [-c|--code  "<value>"]  Use rofi to quickly open a VSCode or Codium workspace Arguments:  -h --help Print help information  -d --dir Comma separated paths to the config directories. Default:  ~/.config/VSCodium,~/.config/Code  -s --sort How the workspaces should be sorted. Default: time  -f --full Show the full path instead of collapsing the home directory to  a tilde. Default: false  -o --output Just prints the workspaces to stdout and exit. Default: false  -r --rofi Command line to launch rofi. Default: rofi -dmenu -p "Open  workspace" -no-custom  -c --code Command line to launch the editor. It will try to detect codium  or code

I use rofi-code everyday using a keystroke combination in my i3 window manager setup with the following line in ~/.config/i3/config.

bindsym $mod+Shift+v exec --no-startup-id rofi-code 

Of course you will need rofi installed.

Also you will be required to have installed the go language tools in your system as a prerequisite to build this software. Why? Because this is coded in go.

Use any Arch User Repository helper yaourt, yay, paru for installing the rofi-code-git package

For example:

foo@bar:~$ yay -S rofi-code-git

Run the following commands in your terminal

foo@bar:~$ git clone https://github.com/Coffelius/rofi-code.git foo@bar:~$ make install
