The darker color on the "selected" items makes me think the blocking
effect of the `$()` makes the most sense, with two exceptions:
- the selected options are run in the same order as the input
- each selected option is only run once
Which would look like:
#!/bin/sh
t=$(mktemp)
dmenu_path | tee "$t" | dmenu "$@" | awk 'NR==FNR { x[$0]++; next } x[$0]' -
"$t" | sh -x
