Search is not a fuzzy but exact. How to run on X (tested on jwm) ############### $ dmenu_run For a large font $ dmenu_run -fn sans-20 Search bar will appear at top of your monitor Use arrow keys with numlock OFF to navigate to your target command or type more letters If you pressed enter, you are attempting to launch the highlighted item and dmenu closes. Be aware not all commands are meant to be run without parameters - options etc If you change your mind press the Escape key. While dmenu is active, you lose kb combos. If your search input is for a non-executable (eg) "lll" you lose all hits and if you forget to Escape and press enter you are launching a missing executable called "lll" and will get a not found error. How to run on Sway ################## Press keys logo (and) d to start dmenu Follow above for the rest. Possible Glitches ################# On fvwm, dmenu may cover any open app that is at the top of your monitor. So to close an app, you may have to either launch an app or press escape, while dmenu active. You can safely ignore any msg about /home/tc/.cache/dmenu_run: No such file or directory ^ that file is created, its a list of executables If you launch a GUI, terminal returns to prompt but for a terminal command you may need to press return key to get back to prompt Change-log: 2020/10/04 v 5.0 on 12x Current: 2020/10/04
