Hello baby,
dmenu grabs all keys / locks X.
There are many contexts where it would be useful to have an option (e.g
-u for "unlock") where dmenu only grabs the minimum keys it needs.
Sometimes you may need to switch windows and check something before
choosing an option (e.g before deleting files etc).
Look up the dmenu manpage for the -w option, I think this does what you
want.
And no, there is no minimal set of input keys dmenu would grab. Would
you pass those by flag? Only want to grab 'a' and 'c' but not 'b'?
This doesn't really make sense.
Quentin, Hiltjo,
Thanks for responding. I'm launching dmenu in a script in the background
so the -w option can't really help me.
What I will do is launch: pmenu (purely terminal based) for simplicity.
Thanks again.
