✨ dmenu-sphinx(1) — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the dmenu-sphinx manual page 💖 this is section 1 of the manual, and this whole page is about the dmenu frontend that yeets your passwords from sphinx(1) straight into your X11 apps, no cap.

🦋 NAME 🦋

dmenu-sphinx — a dmenu frontend for retrieving and inserting passwords from sphinx(1) into X11 applications 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dmenu-sphinx [username] [hostname]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically, dmenu-sphinx gives you an interactive interface for retrieving SPHINX passwords and automatically typing them into X11 applications. it's giving "your fingers never touch the keyboard" energy, fr fr. it uses dmenu(1) to pop up hostname selection menus, and it builds on type-pwd(1) for the actual password entry. iconic combo, honestly 🔥

here's the flow, bestie, step by step:

  1. it first shows you the cached hostnames from previous usage — your history, your faves 😌
  2. if there are multiple usernames chillin' on the hostname you selected, it hits you with a username selection menu 💖
  3. otherwise? it just goes straight to password generation, no extra steps, main character efficiency ✨
  4. finally, it invokes type-pwd(1) to type the password into whatever application is focused 👑

oh and the hostname history? that's cached in the file ~/.sphinx-hosts. iykyk 🫶
