Think Gnome-Do or Quicksilver, but faster, uglier, and only searching things in your $PATH. Mine looks like [1]. Actually, I use Yeganesh[2], which is a wrapper around dmenu that remembers what I tend to use. Specifically, I have menu = "exec `dmenu_path | yeganesh`" and globalkeys = awful.util.table.join( ... awful.key({ modkey, }, "q", function () awful.util.spawn_with_shell(menu) end), which launches the menu when I press caps+q (as caps is rebound to mod4, and q is convienently nearby). But I think I may be getting a bit off topic. [0]: http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/ [1]: http://i.imgur.com/2EcKj.png [2]: http://dmwit.com/yeganesh/
