Hey, I also wanted to make a sublime text-like "open anything" widget and got stuck at the drop-down widget part. So I would definitely use it. With regards to using the prompt widget, it can't show you the options without tabbing through all the options whereas with a dropdown menu you can see what's available and filter accordingly.
I guess it's kind of like z but I would add functionality to open files as well instead of just going to directories. Anyway, Vladimir, even if this doesn't make it into qtile and you get something working please let me know :) Cheers, Filipe On 31 August 2014 16:44, Tycho Andersen <ty...@tycho.ws> wrote: > On Sun, Aug 31, 2014 at 07:30:08AM -0700, Владимир К wrote: > > воскресенье, 31 августа 2014 г., 17:10:39 UTC+4 пользователь Tycho > Andersen > > написал: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > On Sun, Aug 31, 2014 at 03:12:17AM -0700, Владимир К wrote: > > > > I want to write a python drop-down menu (like dmenu) for the core > qtile. > > > Is > > > > this useful for is qtile? > > > > > > I guess I've traditionally not been interested in maintaining some > > > dropdown menu type thing; things like dmenu are nice, but they don't > > > seem necessary to have in-tree since there are lots of alternatives. > > > Is there some specific functionality you're after? > > > > I want to add there a fuzzy search (as in the sublime), sort the results > by > > popularity (stored in a simple database many times what the item is > selected > > ), divided displayed to the user and returns the result. > > Ah, similar to https://github.com/rupa/z ?
