Installation

Nix Flakes

To install this plugin on a flake-based NixOS system, a bare-minimum configuration would look as follows:

# flake.nix
{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs?ref=nixos-unstable";
    rofi-jetbrains = {
      url = "github:zakuciael/rofi-jetbrains";
      # inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };
  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, ... }@inputs: {
    nixosConfigurations."default" = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem rec {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      specialArgs = {
        # Pass system and inputs to the configuration.nix file
        inherit system inputs;
      };
      modules = [
        ./configuration.nix
      ];
    };
  };
}

# configuration.nix
{ inputs, system, ... }: {
  imports = [
    # Hardware config generated by the NixOS Installer
    ./hardware-configuration.nix
  ];
  environment.systemPackages = [inputs.rofi-jetbrains.packages.${system}.default];
  system.stateVersion = "24.11";
}

Configuration

You can customize the behavior of the plugin by using the following configuration options in your .rasi file:

Installation directory

You can change the directory where all of your JetBrains IDEs are installed by using the jetbrains-install-dir configuration option.
For example:

jetbrains-install-dir: "~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/";

Aliases

If you want to add custom IDE aliases a part from the built-in ones you can use the jetbrains-custom-aliases configuration option to do so. The syntax for an alias is composed of <alias string>:<ide_product_code>, where the ide_product_code can be found in the product-info.json file in the IDE installation directory or in this file.
For example:

jetbrains-custom-aliases: ["web:WS", "cpp:CL"];

Icons

This plugin uses the built-in icon fetcher provided by rofi so to disable them or change the icon theme use the respected rofi configuration options.
For example:

show-icons: true;
icon-theme: "WhiteSur-dark";
