DMENU(1) General Commands Manual DMENU(1) NAME dmenu-wl - dynamic menu SYNOPSIS dmenu-wl [-b] [-i] [-l lines] [-m monitor] [-p prompt] [-fn font] [-nb color] [-nf color] [-sb color] [-sf color] [-v] dmenu-wl_run ... dmenu-wl_path DESCRIPTION dmenu-wl is a dynamic menu for Wayland, originally designed for X and dwm(1). It manages huge numbers of user-defined menu items efficiently. dmenu-wl reads a list of newline-separated items from standard input and creates a menu (or displays a notification if using -e). When the user se- lects an item or enters any text and presses Return, their choice is printed to standard output and dmenu-wl terminates. dmenu-wl_run is a dmenu-wl script used by dwm which lists programs in the user's PATH and executes the selected item. dmenu-wl_path is a program used by dmenu-wl_run to find and cache a list of executables. OPTIONS -e dmenu displays text from stdin with no user interaction. -ec same as -e but text is aligned centrally. -er same as -e but text is aligned to the right. -et secs when using -e, close the message after the given number of seconds -b dmenu appears at the bottom of the screen. -h height dmenu is drawn at least the given number of pixels high. -i dmenu matches menu items case insensitively. -l lines dmenu lists items vertically, within the given number of lines. -m monitor dmenu appears on the given monitor (0-based index or monitor name) -p prompt defines the prompt to be displayed to the left of the input field. -po prompt same as -p but don't wait for stdin - useful for a prompt with no selection options. -r Return as soon as a single match is found. i.e. don't wait for the user to press return. -fn font defines the font or font set used. -nb color defines the normal background color. #RRGGBBand #RRGGBBAA are sup- ported. -nf color defines the normal foreground color. -sb color defines the selected background color. -sf color defines the selected foreground color. -v prints version information to standard output, then exits. USAGE dmenu-wl is completely controlled by the keyboard. Besides standard Unix line editing and item selection (Up/Down/Left/Right, PageUp/PageDown, Home/End), the following keys are recognized: Tab (Control-i) Copy the selected item to the input field. Return (Control-j) Confirm selection. Prints the selected item to standard output and exits, returning success. Shift-Return (Control-Shift-j) Confirm input. Prints the input text to standard output and exits, returning success. Escape (Control-c) Exit without selecting an item, returning failure. Control-y Paste the current X selection into the input field. SEE ALSO dwm(1) dmenu-wl-VERSION DMENU(1)
