Synopsis
| j4-dmenu-desktop | [OPTIONS] |
Description
j4-dmenu-desktop is a faster replacement for i3-dmenu-desktop.
It's purpose is to find .desktop files and offer you a menu to start an application using dmenu.
The arguments are as follows:
- -b, --display-binary
Display binary name after each entry (off by default).
- -f, --display-binary-base
Display basename of binary name after each entry (off by default).
- -d, --dmenu command
Determines the command used to invoke dmenu. Executed with your shell ($SHELL) or
/bin/sh.- --no-exec
Do not execute selected command, send to stdout instead.
- --no-generic
Do not include the generic name of desktop entries.
- -t, --term command
Sets the terminal emulator used to start terminal apps.
- --usage-log file
Must point to a read-writeable file (will create if not exists). In this mode entries are sorted by usage frequency.
- -x, --use-xdg-de
Enables reading $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to determine the desktop environment.
- --wait-on path
Must point to a path where a file can be created. In this mode no menu will be shown. Instead the program waits for path to be written to (use echo > path). Every time this happens a menu will be shown. Desktop files are parsed ahead of time. Performing 'echo -n q > path' will exit the program.
- --wrapper wrapper
A wrapper binary. Useful in case you want to wrap into 'i3 exec'.
- -h, --help
Display help message.
