Hi Fred, no scrollbar please ! ! !
But on Windows I do at least have the possibility to scroll down if not all values are shown. On Linux that's not possible. I can fit 56 entries on my full HD screen and the rest is not accessible at all. I suspect that this is part of the operating system ... So, dividing the menu into several rows - if needed - would look like the best way to do it. [tof/pmenu] does this but unfortunately the first column is limited to 30 entries and the number of columns seems to be limited to 2. Looks like [tof/pmenu] would be easier to change to do what I need by extending the number of entries per row and columns. Being able to set a maximum amount of rows per column would be perfect with up to 4 or 5 rows. I had downloaded the source code before but since I'm no good at these things I couldn't manage to change it.
