Yay thx, I have a simillar hack in 'production', that run-or-raises apps, tmux windows, browser tabs, etc… But I really think this should be the job of the one and only minimal keybinding utility. With my dmenu scripts I always have to pause myself to not run into some weired race condition, where dmenu takes it's own time to accept the keys I hit, after dropping them to the active client… also: the additional Enter/Return in dmenu seems unefficient. Generally a great approach, but not in the long term. cheers, mih -- 'aware water' is an anagram for 'we are at war'
