Thank you for dmenu-extended, it's very convenient. Is it possible to add a function to quit the running applications? With a keyword like "quit" or a symbol like "\".

Fuseteam commented 3 years ago

wait what? doesn't demu close after it runs the application? that said if you know the name of the application running killall <name-of-application> in dmenu would quit a running application

@Fuseteam Thank you for the suggestion! Just a reminder for other users.

  1. <name-of-application> is not the exact the Name part in the desktop file, but the real name of the program, which is usually in /usr/bin. For example, the Name part in the desktop file of /usr/bin/skypeforlinux could be Skype Preview.
  2. ; should be appended to the command, that is, killall <name-of-application>;.
