To me, this sounds exactly like the kind of feature you want in a seperate patch. It's a rather big amount of code (relative to suckless standards anyway), and completely unnecessary if you don't like using the rat. Furthermore, while some dmenu-patches add command line toggles, that might be used by other programs that use dmenu as a tool, this feature is completely orthogonal to such compositional use of dmenu, and thus not as important to dmenu's usefulness as a building block for other programs. -- \ Troels /\ Henriksen
