Hide, but don't close `xmenu` after selecting an option #40

Re-running xmenu is a bit redundant. Ideally, I would redirect its output to sh and set a hotkey to focus it. That way, xmenu would appear instantly.

Hi, There's the option -x that does what you need:

xmenu -x Mod4-3 <<EOF &

Then pressing Mod-4 (Super/Win key) with the third mouse button (right button) opens the same xmenu instance without needing to reopen it.

That needs to be run in the background.
