1 year ago Hi, xmenu does not have such text input field feature, nor it can search for items down the menu hierarchy.
Drawing text fields is a complex task, especially when handling input methods and composed strings, that I prefer to be handled by a separate application.
You can use, however, dmenu for searching for items.
You can make your workflow use xmenu for a mouse-based selection of items and dmenu for a keyboard-driven selection of items.
If you want to include such feature by yourself, you can fork xmenu and use dmenu's code to add its feature into xmenu.
Just like we have any linux menu, they have a search menu. How can I add this to xmenu? This is what I've currently got.
Here's what I would like to have. When I hover over the Search item on the xmenu selection list, I would like to be able to type, and it'll autofill, like the following.
Then, it'll start to filter out all the items.
How can I achieve this?
