They also don't allow you to move the cursor up or down or access many
of their features without a mouse. Hardly analogous to an entirely
keyboard-operated program. I suppose you'd prefer mouse support too?

dmenu, when visible and responding to keypresses, never reads from
stdin, in which case even cat would not react. I repeat, to dmenu ^D
is meaningless. Alternatively, we could actually use the key for
something worthwhile.
