# mymenu
> a menu of mine

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.

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.

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

```
#!/bin/ksh

a-menu() {
	mymenu -f 'Go Mono-11' -l vertical -p '% ' \
	       -W 50% -H 30% -P 10 -x center -y center \
	       -C '#ffffea' -c '#000' -T '#ffffea' \
	       -t '#000' -S '#000' -s '#fff' -b 3 \
	       -a
}

# pass
p() {
	prefix=${PASSWORD_STORE_DIR:-~/.password-store}
	set -A files -- "$prefix"/**/*.gpg "$prefix"/**/**/*.gpg
	typeit=${1:-yes}

	if p=$(printf '%s\n' ${files[@]} | sed -e 's/\.gpg$//' -e "s,^$prefix/,," | a-menu); then
		if [ "$typeit" = yes ]; then
			pass show "$p" | { IFS= read -r pass; printf %s "$pass"; } |
				xdotool type --clearmodifiers --file -
		else
			pass show --clip "$password"
		fi
	fi
}

# exec
e() {
	if ! x=$(a-menu); then
		return
	elif [ "$x" = "pass" ]; then
		p yes
	elif [ "$x" = "pass copy" ]; then
		p nope
	elif [ "$x" = "keep" ]; then
		exec keepassxc
	else
		exec $x
	fi
}

(
	echo keep
	echo firefox
	# ...
	echo pass
	echo pass copy # not "copy pass" so it's after pass
) | e
