Using dmenu in Pekwm and Openbox
During my recent stint trying out wmii, I’ve grown very quickly accustomed to dmenu. After only using it for a few hours, I fell in love with it: it is so convenient to launch an application when you don’t have your hands on the mouse; launch dmenu, just type a few letters from the application name, make sure you have the right app selected, press enter and your app shows up.
So I began to wonder whether it is possible to run dmenu or something similar in Openbox and Pekwm, and it is.
First, you’ll need to install dmenu. You can download the source code from the dwm/wmii website and install that (’sudo make clean install’ in Ubuntu).
