Add `awful.menu`-compatible interface to `menubar` to create user-defined menubars #2482

Open actionless opened 5 years ago

actionless commented 5 years ago

Fuzzy search in menubar could be especially useful for implementing awful.menu.clients-like menubar

It has been a long time since I worked on this, if you could complete the "boring" part and bring this to release quality, it would be appreciated.

(2 years... my patch queue is getting out of control, there is 100 commits in front of that one...)

I've created this issue as kind of todo for myself, however i don't know when i will manage to start with it. But anyway this snippet would be really helpful

btw, it seems it's not handling pagination?

This is why there was no PR for it 2 years ago. It has a bunch of other limitations. Some of them also would be fixed by rebasing the awful.prompt on top of awful.keygrabber.

Right now that's a proof of concept with hardcoded data and not a serious successor to menubar and awful.completion.
