✨ DMENU_LAUNCH(1) — a dmenu_launch moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the User Commands manual for dmenu_launch — yes, that’s the one, DMENU_LAUNCH(1) if you’re being fancy. 🫶

🎀 NAME 🎀

dmenu_launch — launch XDG applications using dmenu

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dmenu_launch [dmenu options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

dmenu_launch is a script, and no cap it can be used by dwm(1) — or any other tiling window manager that uses dmenu(1). The way it works is literally iconic: it lists desktop applications in XDG directories as input to dmenu(1), then runs the result using xdg-launch(1). It’s giving “pick your app from the menu and slay.” 💅

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • same options as dmenu(1) — dmenu_launch takes the same options as dmenu(1). That’s the whole option situation, bestie; the actual flags live in dmenu(1). ✨

💀 BUGS 💀

dmenu_launch has no known bugs. Iconic behavior, honestly. But if you do find one, please report bugs to the source code repository at <https://github.com/bbidulock/xdg-launch/issues>. Fr fr, they wanna know. 🐛
