4 mymenu is a simple, dmenu-inspired, menu for X11.  It was written because of NIH, because I was bored, and because it was the perfect opportunity to learn more about X11 and xlib.  Jokes aside, is a fully functional and very customizable menu that I use every day.

9 It supports two layout: a vertical one (like rofi) and one horizontal (like dmenu).  Various aspects are customizables: color, transparency, borders and window placement.  It is very easily scriptable, and in the default repo you’ll find some example script (both in the manpage and in the scripts folder).  Of course, you can easily adapt your dmenu/rofi scripts to mymenu if you want.

11 For instance, here’s what I’m currently using.  It has submenu and custom actions, so it could be a good example.

13 ```
14 #!/bin/ksh
15 
16 a-menu() {
17 	mymenu -f 'Go Mono-11' -l vertical -p '% ' \
18 	       -W 50% -H 30% -P 10 -x center -y center \
19 	       -C '#ffffea' -c '#000' -T '#ffffea' \
20 	       -t '#000' -S '#000' -s '#fff' -b 3 \
21 	       -a
22 }

24 # pass
25 p() {
26 	prefix=${PASSWORD_STORE_DIR:-~/.password-store}
27 	set -A files -- "$prefix"/**/*.gpg "$prefix"/**/**/*.gpg
28 	typeit=${1:-yes}
29 
30 	if p=$(printf '%s\n' ${files[@]} | sed -e 's/\.gpg$//' -e "s,^$prefix/,," | a-menu); then
31 		if [ "$typeit" = yes ]; then
32 			pass show "$p" | { IFS= read -r pass; printf %s "$pass"; } |
33 				xdotool type --clearmodifiers --file -
34 		else
35 			pass show --clip "$password"
36 		fi
37 	fi
38 }
39 
40 # exec
41 e() {
42 	if ! x=$(a-menu); then
43 		return
44 	elif [ "$x" = "pass" ]; then
45 		p yes
46 	elif [ "$x" = "pass copy" ]; then
47 		p nope
48 	elif [ "$x" = "keep" ]; then
49 		exec keepassxc
50 	else
51 		exec $x
52 	fi
53 }
54 
55 (
56 	echo keep
57 	echo firefox
58 	# ...
59 	echo pass
60 	echo pass copy # not "copy pass" so it's after pass
61 ) | e
