Similar to [dwm-flexipatch](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch) this dmenu 4.9 project has a different take on patching. It uses preprocessor directives to decide whether or not to include a patch during build time. Essentially this means that this build, for better or worse, contains both the patched _and_ the original code. The aim being that you can select which patches to include and the build will contain that code and nothing more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example to include the `border` patch then you would only need to flip this setting from 0 to 1 in [patches.h](https://github.com/bakkeby/st-flexipatch/blob/master/patches.h):
|
||
|
|
```c
|
||
|
|
#define BORDER_PATCH 1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [instant](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/instant/)
|
||
|
|
- adds a flag that will cause dmenu to select an item immediately if there is only one matching option left
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [line-height](http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/line-height/)
|
||
|
|
- adds a '-h' option which sets the minimum height of a dmenu line
|
||
|
|
- this helps integrate dmenu with other UI elements that require a particular vertical size
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [mouse-support](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/mouse-support/)
|
||

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [non-blocking-stdin](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/non_blocking_stdin/)
|
||
|
|
- this is a patch to have dmenu read stdin in a non blocking way, making it wait for input both from stdin and from X
|
||
|
|
- this means that you can continue feeding dmenu while you type
|
||
|
|
- the patch is meant to be used along with the incremental patch in order to use stdout to feed stdin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [password](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/password/)
|
||
|
|
- with this patch dmenu will not directly display the keyboard input, but instead replace it with dots
|
||
|
|
- all data from stdin will be ignored
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [pipeout](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/pipeout/)
|
||
|
|
- this patch allows the selected text to be piped back out with dmenu
|
||
|
|
- this can be useful if you want to display the output of a command on the screen
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [prefix-completion](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/prefix-completion/)
|
||
|
|
- changes the behaviour of matched items and the Tab key to allow tab completion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [printinputtext](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/printinputtext/)
|
||
|
|
- this patch adds a flag (-t) which makes Return key ignore selection and print the input text to stdout
|
||
|
|
- the flag basically swaps the functions of Return and Shift+Return hotkeys
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [rejectnomatch](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/reject-no-match/)
|
||

|
||
|
|
- [scroll](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/scroll/)
|
||
|
|
- this patch adds support for text scrolling
|
||
|
|
- it doesn't append '...' for long input anymore as it can handle long text
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [vertfull](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/vertfull/)
|
||
|
|
