Hi list,
I am heavily using dmenu to feed editor with external shell scripts when writing *TeX files. Since dmenu 4.9, I noticed a new, and somehow annoying, behaviour: when dmenu is called from STDIN twice in a row, the scripts hangs, waiting for input from the shelle and I have to type ^D to get the script running further on. Looks like it doesn't happen when dmenu is reading a file. Here is a basic MWE: #!/bin/ksh Orientation=$(echo "horizontal\nvertical"|dmenu) #here the cursor goes back to the shell and I #have to type Ctr-D to have the script running further on NbLignes=$(dmenu -p "nombre de lignes") echo "tableau: $Orientation de $NbLignes lignes" I experienced this on both st and xterm on OpenBSD. What can I do to avoid this behaviour? Thanks, Damien Thiriet
