DMENU2(1) General Commands Manual DMENU2(1) NAME dmenu2 - dynamic menu 2 SYNOPSIS dmenu2 [-b] [-f] [-r] [-i] [-z] [-t] [-mask] [-noinput] [-s screen] [-name name] [-class class] [-o opacity] [-dim opacity] [-dc color] [-l lines] [-h height] [-uh height] [-w width] [-p prompt] [-fn font] [-nb color] [-nf color] [-sb color] [-sf color] color] [-hist <filename>] [-v] dmenu2_run ... DESCRIPTION dmenu2 is a dynamic menu for X, which reads a list of newline-separated items from stdin. When the user selects an item and presses Return, their choice is printed to stdout and dmenu2 terminates. Entering text will nar- row the items to those matching the tokens in the input. dmenu2_run is a script used by dwm(1) which lists programs in the user's $PATH and runs the result in their $SHELL. OPTIONS -b dmenu2 appears at the bottom of the screen. -q dmenu2 will not show any items if the search string is empty. -f dmenu2 grabs the keyboard before reading stdin. This is faster, but will lock up X until stdin reaches end-of-file. -r activates filter mode. All matching items currently shown in the list will be selected, starting with the item that is highlighted and wrapping around to the beginning of the list. -i dmenu2 matches menu items case insensitively. -z dmenu2 uses fuzzy matching. It matches items that have all charac- ters entered, in sequence they are entered, but there may be any number of characters between matched characters. For example it takes "txt" makes it to "*t*x*t" glob pattern and checks if it matches. -t dmenu2 uses space-separated tokens to match menu items. Using this overrides -z option. -mask dmenu2 masks input with asterisk characters (*). -noinput dmenu2 ignores input from stdin (equivalent to: echo | dmenu2). -s screen dmenu2 apears on the specified screen number. Number given corespon- des to screen number in X configuration. -name name defines window name for dmenu2. Defaults to "dmenu2". -class class defines window class for dmenu2. Defaults to "Dmenu2". -o opacity defines window opacity for dmenu2. Defaults to 1.0. -dim opacity enables screen dimming when dmenu2 appers. Takes dim opacity as ar- gument. -dc color defines color of screen dimming. Active only when -dim in effect. Defautls to black (#000000) -l lines dmenu2 lists items vertically, with the given number of lines. -h height defines the height of the bar in pixels. -uh height defines the height of the underline in pixels. -p prompt defines the prompt to be displayed to the left of the input field. -fn font defines the font or font set used. eg. "fixed" or "Monospace-12:nor- mal" (an xft font) -x xoffset defines the offset from the left border of the screen. -y yoffset defines the offset from the top border of the screen. -w width defines the desired menu window width. -nb color defines the normal background color. #RGB, #RRGGBB, and X color names are supported. -nf color defines the normal foreground color. -sb color defines the selected background color. -sf color defines the selected foreground color. -uc color defines the underline color. -hist <histfile> the file to use for history -v prints version information to stdout, then exits.

Return Confirm selection. Prints the selected item to stdout and exits, returning success. Shift-Return Confirm input. Prints the input text to stdout and exits, returning success.
