Hello, I already mentioned it on IRC, but wouldn't it be an improvement to integrate wmiimenu's functionality into wmiiwm and expose it through 9P? For the usual Mod+p program menu it could work as follows:
1. wmiirc creates a list of all executables and stores it into /menu/programs. 2. The user presses Mod+p. wmiirc writes "show programs" into /menu/ctl. wmiiwm displays the menu. 3. If the user selects a menu item an event is generated, e.g. MenuSelect programs xterm 4. wmiirc starts xterm This has some advantages: A wmiirc would not have to pipe the whole menu contents into wmiimenu everytime the menu is to be shown, instead it has to create a file with the menu items once. All interactions would be done via 9P. Opinions? Regards, -- Julian Stecklina Being really good at C++ is like being really good at using rocks to sharpen sticks. - Thant Tessman
