When the user selects an item and presses Return, their choice is printed to stdout and dmenu terminates. Entering text will narrow the items to those matching the tokens in the input. .P .B dmenu_run is a script used by .IR dwm (1) which lists programs in the user's $PATH and runs the result in their $SHELL. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-b dmenu appears at the bottom of the screen. .TP .B \-f dmenu grabs the keyboard before reading stdin. This is faster, but will lock up X until stdin reaches end\-of\-file. .TP .B \-i dmenu matches menu items case insensitively. .TP .BI \-l " lines" dmenu lists items vertically, with the given number of lines. .TP .BI \-m " monitor" dmenu is displayed on the monitor number supplied.
