My imagination is not limited, you do not have to offend me, thank you ;-) It is just that to run xterm, you probably won't go searching for text 'xterm' in browser or in other app. Detto with other programs. Copying is a nice idea in general, but I haven't heard a single useful pattern for dmenu yet. Dmenu is just keyboard driven application starter. Adding any more functionality just because someone thinks it's nice (and he doesn't even mention any use-case) isn't a right way of doing things IMHO. That argument thing of yours doesn't sound very useful also. Can you give a more concrete example?

I didn't hear such an useless idea in a while :-) Looks like your imagination is somewhat limited. You don't have to type things to be able to select them. There happens to be quite a lot of other sources of text on screen of an average computer user. I think being able to paste the contents of the clipboard (for example as arguments to a program selected from a pre-made dmenu list) is a very cool idea. [a] -- .
