Hi,

Regards,
Birei

DMENU(1) General Commands Manual DMENU(1)
NAME
dmenu - dynamic menu
SYNOPSIS
dmenu [-b] [-i] [-l lines] [-m monitor] [-p prompt] [-fn font] [-nb color] [-nf color] [-sb color] [-sf color] [-v]
dmenu_run ...
dmenu_path
DESCRIPTION
dmenu is a dynamic menu for X, originally designed for dwm(1). It manages huge numbers of user-defined menu items efficiently.
dmenu reads a list of newline-separated items from standard input and creates a menu. When the user selects an item or enters any text and
presses Return, their choice is printed to standard output and dmenu terminates.
dmenu_run is a dmenu script used by dwm which lists programs in the user's PATH and executes the selected item.
dmenu_path is a program used by dmenu_run to find and cache a list of executables.
OPTIONS
-b dmenu appears at the bottom of the screen.
-i dmenu matches menu items case insensitively.
-l lines
dmenu lists items vertically, with the given number of lines.
-m monitor
dmenu appears on the given Xinerama screen.
-p prompt
defines the prompt to be displayed to the left of the input field.
-fn font
defines the font or font set used.
-nb color
defines the normal background color. #RGB, #RRGGBB, and 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.
-v prints version information to standard output, then exits.
USAGE
dmenu is completely controlled by the keyboard. Besides standard Unix line editing and item selection (Up/Down/Left/Right, PageUp/Page-
Down, 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.
