Hello:
        I've updated dmenu recently, and noticed that dinput is gone, because 
it was merged into dmenu.
I'd personally like to have dinput back, because I think it's better suited to 
some tasks than dmenu.

For example, I used dinput to quickly edit the URL in surf, because it required 
less "interaction" than dmenu: the URL was right there, waiting to be edited.
In contrast, if I want to edit the URL in dmenu, I have to retype the URL, or 
first Ctrl+Y, then Ctrl+G, and then paste into dmenu, all that "extra" steps in 
order to edit the same URL.

Not a big deal, but I think dmenu and dinput are for different and 
complementary things: dmenu is for quickly picking a string among many others, 
while dinput if for quickly editing a given string.

Let me know what you think. I'd love to have dinput back.

Thanks.
