Greetings Ignas,

All these enhacements are pretty useful. The first and the third patches are OK, but let me ramble a bit about the second one. Since the probability persists that a shell command we want to enter matches with an entry in the menu (I know this probability is very small but nonetheless non-zero) there is a bad style to make the user use ordinar prompt for this.

I think it would be better if this automatically generated entry "Run query" would appear *always* at the end of the list. This way even if there would be an application entry that matches the query, user would only have to scroll one position to the right. And in case no applications are matched, the "Run query" would be the only one present.

Best regards,

Hello list,

I started using menubar since its introduction to awesome git/master,
but always felt that it needs to be able to execute commands, which
essentially makes it as a replacement for the shell prompt (in the
default config execute with Mod4+r). I went and implemented features I
needed and here are three patches.

The first implements search in command names of the entries, which does
let me launch gimp by entering gimp.

The second patch implements the feature I mentioned earlier.

And the third patch implements shell completion.

Feel free to criticise and make suggestions, I will try to fix the
problems.

All best,
Ignas
