Mod+P runs dmenu but doesn't execute any application #12

sadid commented 10 years ago

I've an arch linux installation and current git reposistory has been cloned., and xmonad/xmobar works perfect. But the default dmenu-with-yeganesh doesn't do anything it appears but doesn't launch the app. The following modificaiton solves the problem for my case. I'm not sure if this problem is glabal and effects all users:

in the ~/.xmonad/bin/dmenu-with-yeganesh the execution command should be added i.e.:

this line: dmenu_path | ~/.cabal/bin/yeganesh -- -nb .... should be modifedi to this: exec $(dmenu_path | ~/.cabal/bin/yeganesh -- nb .......)

best regards

exec is not necessary... I think. Just wrap them with the parenthesis and prepend a dollar sign.
