Hey,

With respect, you're filing a lot of issues but not really providing a lot of information :-) Last time around, I asked you to tell me which lines are slow when launching under bash -x. Could you please do that?

kristoferus75 commented 3 years ago

Hi !

if i start this command i see all lines immediately

and also i see dmenu immediately but cpu usage is very high and it is slow if i scroll in dmenu

the problem is since i copy lines from libreoffice table like this:

xxxxxxxxxxxxx 20.20.20.20 192.168.29 /24 xxxxx-8P 10.9.68 10.91.68 10.92.68 10.191.68 10.192.68 10.193.68 10.99.68 172.23.68 172.24.68 172.33.68 172.34.68

Realistically, if dmenu is slow, you're going to have to talk to dmenu developers. We already apply restrictions to max clips and max length.

kristoferus75 commented 3 years ago

Sorry i use dmenu for also other functions -> and have no problems -> but ok i can try rofi also with clipmenu -> i will see and give info !

kristoferus75 commented 3 years ago

intressting with rofi :

if i copy one line in libreoffice table -> i see now this line 10 Times in rofi (ok this happen because i mark slowly word by word or column by column -> in dmenu i have not this behavior -> is it possible to change this ?

if i copy only one word i see only one word -> ok

it seems you have right -> with rofi there is no delay and also no high cpu ussage hmmmmm

i try now also an other version of dmenu -> i give info !

Thanks !

ok same problem with:

dmenu 4.8 dmenu 4.9 dmenu 5.0

also without patches

with rofi -> only the problem with 10 lines if i copy a table word by word or column by column
