Type, copy or print your credentials from Bitwarden using rofi.

Prints brief usage information.
show program’s version number and exit
Possible values: type, copy, print
Choose what to do with the selected characters: Directly type them with the "Typer", copy them to the clipboard using the "Clipboarder", or "print" them on stdout
Possible values: username, password, totp, notes, number, cardholder, brand, expiry, code, CUSTOM FIELD NAME, menu
Choose which component of the selected entry to type/copy/print. Can be passed multiple times to use multiple targets.
Not all entries have all fields.
`menu` is a special value to open the target menu.
Set the text for the prompt.
Format: ::.
Define your own keybindings. Multiple keybindings can be concatenated with `,`; multiple targets for one shortcut can be concatenated with `:`.
The pattern is `<shortcut>:<action>:<target>`, where `shortcut` is your desired keybinding, `action` is one of `--action`, `target` is one of `--target`.
This feature is only available in supported \"selectors\" (currently only rofi).
Format: :.
Define your own keybindings for the target menu. Multiple keybindings can be concatenated with `,`.
This feature is only available in supported \"selectors\".
Clear the password from the clipboard after SECONDS seconds. Set to 0 to disable.
Set a small delay before typing starts. 0 by default.
Set a small delay between keypresses when typing. 0 by default.
Define the duration in milliseconds to wait for a delay step in a keybinding sequence (e.g. Alt+c:copy:username:delay:password). It applies to both type and copy actions. 1000 by default.
Disable the automatic frecency cache. It contains sha1-hashes of the selected entries and how often they were used.
Don’t show the help message about available keyboard shortcuts.
Possible values: name_only, name_with_folder, folder, user, uri
Ordered list of fields to show in the selection list, given as separate arguments (e.g. `--display-fields name_only user`).
`name_with_folder` renders as `folder/name`.
Defaults to `name_with_folder,user`.
Don’t show folders in the list of possible entries. Superseded by --display-fields. Translates to --display-fields name_only user.
A string of arguments to give to the selector.
Possible values: rofi, wofi
Choose the selector application manually. Usually `rofi`, but for Wayland, you may want `wofi`.
Possible values: xsel, xclip, wl-copy
Choose the application to access the clipboard with manually.
Possible values: xdotool, wtype, ydotool, dotool
Choose the application to type with manually.
Send a desktop notification after each field is copied (e.g. “username copied to clipboard”).

enter to use the default action

alt+c to copy the password

alt+u to copy the username

alt+t to copy the TOTP

alt+m to show a menu of the entry’s components

alt+s to sync the contents of the vault

alt+1 to autotype username and password, separated with a tab character

alt+2 to type the username

alt+3 to type the password

Please note that wofi does not support keybindings other than enter.

Args that start with “--” (eg. --version) can also be set in a config file.

Config file syntax allows: key=value, flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c]. If an arg is specified in more than one place, then commandline values override values from the config file.

~/.cache/rofi-rbw.runcache
Saves the number pf times an entry has been used, so that they can be sorted first. Entries are hashed with sha1 so as not to leak any secrets.
