rofi-rbw

rbw-rofi

A rofi (and dmenu-like) frontend for Bitwarden

Based on the alternative Bitwarden CLI rbw and inspired by rofi-pass, rbw-rofi is a simplistic password typer/copier using rofi, wofi, fuzzel, and bemenu.

Features

• Autotype password or username (Enter/Alt+3 and Alt+2, respectively)
• Autotype username and password (with a tab character in between) with Alt+1 (and copy TOTP to clipboard)
• Configure autotyping either as a keybinding or by having a _autotype field in your credential
• Copy username, password or TOTP to the clipboard (Alt+u, Alt+p and Alt+t, respectively)
• Show an autotype menu with all fields

Usage

First, you need to configure rbw. See its documentation for that. Then, you can start rofi-rbw. It is not available as a rofi mode.

Configuration

You can configure rofi-rbw either with cli arguments or with a config file called $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rofi-rbw.rc. In the file, use the long option names without double dashes. Please check the man page for details.

Options

long option	short option	possible values	description
--action	-a	type (default), copy, print	Choose what rofi-rbw should do.
--target	-t	username, password, notes, totp (or any custom field)	Choose which components of the selected entry are interesting. Can be passed multiple times to type/copy/print several components. Default is username and password.
--prompt	-r	any string	Define the text of the prompt.
--keybindings			Define custom keybindings in the format <shortcut>:<action>:<target>, for example Alt+x:copy:username. Multiple keybindings can be concatenated with ,; multiple targets for one shortcut can be concatenated with :. Note that wofi doesn't support keybindings.
--menu-keybindings			Define custom keybindings for the target menu in the format <shortcut>:<action>, similar to --keybindings. Note that wofi doesn't support keybindings.
--no-cache			Disable the automatic frecency cache. It contains sha1-hashes of the selected entries and how often they were used.
--clear-after		integer number >= 0 (default is 0)	Limit the duration in seconds passwords stay in your clipboard (unless overwritten). When set to 0, passwords will be kept indefinitely.
--typing-start-delay		delay in milliseconds (default is 0)	Set a delay before the typing starts.
--typing-key-delay		delay in milliseconds (default is 0)	Set a delay between key presses when typing.
--action-sequence-delay		delay in milliseconds (default is 1000)	Duration to wait when a delay step is encountered in a keybinding sequence (e.g. Alt+c:copy:username:delay:password), for both type and copy actions.
--no-help			Don't show the help message about the available shortcuts.
--display-fields		name_only, name_with_folder, folder, user, uri	Ordered list of fields to show in the overview, given as separate arguments (e.g. --display-fields name_only user). Defaults to name_with_folder user.
--selector-args			Define arguments that will be passed through to rofi, wofi, fuzzel or bemenu.Please note that you need to specify it as --selector-args="<args>" or --selector-args " <args>" because of a bug in argparse
--selector		rofi, wofi, fuzzel, bemenu	Show the selection dialog with this application. Chosen automatically by default.
--clipboarder		xsel, xclip, wl-copy	Access the clipboard with this application. Chosen automatically by default.
--typer		xdotool, wtype, ydotool, dotool	Type the characters using this application. Chosen automatically by default.
--use-notify-send			Send a desktop notification after each field is copied (e.g. "username copied to clipboard").

Autotyping

By default, Alt+1 will type username and password, separated with a tab character. However, you can change this behavior by defining your own keybinding (if your selector supports this). For example, Alt+1:type:username:enter:delay:password:enter will type the username, enter, wait for a second and then type the password and enter again.

This sequence can also be defined as a field _autotype on each credential.

Installation

From distribution repositories

From PyPI

rofi-rbw is on PyPI. You can install it with pip install --user rofi-rbw (or sudo pip install rofi-rbw).

Manually

Download the wheel file from releases and install it with pipx install $filename. Note that it needs configargparse to work.

Dependencies

You also need:

• Python 3.9 or higher
• rofi, wofi, fuzzel or bemenu
• rbw 1.14 or higher
• Something to programmatically type characters into other applications. Depending on your display server, it's xdotool, wtype, ydotool or dotool.
• Something to copy text to the clipboard. Again, depending on the display server, you want xclip, xsel or wl-copy.
• Optionally libnotify to provide notify-send needed for --use-notify-send
