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
```

### Patches included:

   - [border](http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/border/)
      - adds a border around the dmenu window

   - [center](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/center/)
      - this patch centers dmenu in the middle of the screen

   - [fuzzymatch](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/fuzzymatch/)
      - adds support for fuzzy-matching to dmenu, allowing users to type non-consecutive portions of the string to be matched

   - [incremental](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/incremental/)
      - this patch causes dmenu to print out the current text each time a key is pressed

   - [initialtext](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/initialtext/)
      - adds an option to provide preselected text

   - [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/)
      - adds basic mouse support for dmenu

   - [navhistory](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/navhistory/)
      - provides dmenu the ability for history navigation similar to that of bash

   - [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/)
      - adds a new flag to dmenu with which text input will be rejected if it would result in no matching item

   - [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/)
      - prevents dmenu from indenting items at the same level as the prompt length

   - [wmtype](https://github.com/Baitinq/dmenu/blob/master/patches/dmenu-wm_type.diff)
      - adds extended window manager hints such as \_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE and \_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK

   - [xyw](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/xyw/)
      - adds options for specifying dmenu window position and width
