sorry for "intruding" on this thread. I've ignored `dmenu' up to now completely. I tried now (mod1-p), but when I select some entry and hit return, nothing happens at all. the manpages of `dwm' and `dmenu' don't enlighten me (beyond doing something silly like your shell example above). I was expecting that the selected entry is fed to `exec' or whatever. simple question: what is supposed to happen and how do I use `dmenu' sensibly? thanks, joerg PS: I'm on MacOS and the statusbar shows the EOF "bug" mentionend in the `dwm' manpage, i.e. stdout is closed already before `dwm' executes. is that the problem?
