This second variant is fantastic! It allows me to select a command
with wimenu, add some options, find a file in the directory treeā€¦ it
does everything. In addition I used for the -h option of wimenu simply
$HOME/bash_history, so that the bash history is available from wimenu
and conversely.

I'm glad that it helped.

The only little thing it was missing, in my opinion, was the ability
to display hidden files when I put a '.' at the beginning of a file
name. Thus I modified it in order to do so (see below).

For someone who's not a programmer, that's rather good work. I suspect that you probably underrate your ability to write the patches mentioned above. People tend to think programming is a lot harder than it is. I would suggest, though, that you use cmd/lcmd instead of opt/lopt, or otherwise pass it as an argument rather than using the global value.
