1 dynamicoptions - Dynamic options for dmenu 2 Source: https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/dynamicoptions/dmenu-dynamicoptions-20200526-01e2dfc7.diff 3 Original Author: ttmx - tiago.sequeira.teles@gmail.com 4 5 Description from source: 6 """ 7 This patch adds a flag (-dy) which makes dmenu run the command given to it whenever input is changed with the 8 current input as the last argument and update the option list according to the output of that command. 9 10 By default dmenu does not let you change the option list after starting it, this patch adds support for that. 11 It is best used with the -l flag. 12 13 (ie. usage: dmenu -dy ls runs ls on whatever directory/file you are currently typing in dmenu and lets you 14 select it) 15 """ 16 17 == YOU MUST == 18 (1).
