When the user selects an item and presses Return, their choice is printed +to stdout and dmenu terminates. Entering text will narrow the items to those +matching the tokens in the input. +.P +.B dmenu_run +is a script used by +.IR dwm (1) +which lists programs in the user's $PATH and runs the result in their $SHELL. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B \-b +dmenu appears at the bottom of the screen. +.TP +.B \-c +dmenu appears centered on the screen. +.TP +.B \-f +dmenu grabs the keyboard before reading stdin if not reading from a tty. This +is faster, but will lock up X until stdin reaches end\-of\-file. .TP .B \-i -makes dmenu match menu entries case insensitively. +dmenu matches menu items case insensitively. .TP -.B \-b -defines that dmenu appears at the bottom. +.B \-r +dmenu will reject any input which would result in no matching option left. .TP -.B \-e -reparents dmenu to the window specified by xid. +.BI \-l " lines" +dmenu lists items vertically, with the given number of lines. .TP -.B \-l -activates vertical list mode. -The given number of lines will be displayed.

When the user selects an item or enters any text and presses Return, his/her -choice is printed to standard output and dmenu terminates. -.P -dmenu is completely controlled by the keyboard. Besides standard Unix line editing, -and item selection (Up/Down or Left/Right, PageUp/PageDown, Home/End), the following -keys are recognized: +dmenu is completely controlled by the keyboard. Items are selected using the +arrow keys, page up, page down, home, and end. .TP -.B Tab (Control\-i) +.B Tab Copy the selected item to the input field. .TP -.B Return (Control\-j) -Confirm selection and quit (print the selected item to standard output).
