Dmenu shows you only a list of commands specified by PATH. It opens
the app then without any parameters and while selecting for an app
(or command) there is no description what it does. I think sth like
code completion + brief description + argument specification is the
value of enso.
Another neat

You can give whatever parameters you like.

Note: the following is not intended as trolling material, but it is just
my own views and experience of running hundreds of machines in

dmenu reads a (possibly empty) list of items, then one can select an
item or type something different, then dmenu outputs the
selected/typed item
what you mean is the dmenu_run script which use
thanx a lot. i will experiment a bit and see how i can fit that with
dwm, i.e. displaying description, possible arguments etc.

it runs on linux. i think it's written in python.

Seems that X keeps getting worse and worse even when you thought that

I don't use XINERAMA, then var n never is assigned, then the next f
