This adds C-d (delete next char) and C-g (abort) to dmenu. These keys are

I've added C-d but not C-g, since it seems like an emacsism.

Both are emacsisms as far as I can tell, and of little use (specialy
given ^C already aborts).

So do Escape and ^[. C-g, unfortunately, is also used by mutt, which doesn't recognize <Esc> at all. C-d means EOF. It's always meant EOF and I've never known it to mean delete-char, although I'm aware that in emacs it does.

Whose canon?

organisation turns out low-quality software crap that embarrasses you,
then leave.
