Thanks. And I'm blaming X... or fork()... because it doesn't catch keypresses.
I'm trying out plenty of these suggestions. I wish there was some way of dealing with it directly in C... but having it as a script certainly makes it more accessible in a "runtime" sense. Thanks! On 12/1/06, Anselm R. Garbe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Actually dmenu grabs the keyboard before(!) reading from standard input, hence X should cache all keypresses it gets during this time until readstdin(); finishes. If not, then blame X or fork(). On the other hand I also agree that using a program list cache is wise. Regards, -- Anselm R. Garbe >< http://suckless.org/~arg/ >< GPG key: 0D73F361
