Description:
xdgmenu 0.0.0
A ncurses application menu. The missing stone of my i3 setup.
Description
A simple and lightweight alternative to Desktop Environment’s
application menu. To be used when you do not remember the name of this
new pdf reader you just installed yesterday night…
Dependencies:
PyXdg: python’s freedesktop bindings, used in order to generate
the menu.
Urwid: a framework build on top of ncurses.
Keybindings (case insensitive):
j,k,l,m or arrow: Navigate between menu entries.
c: Cycle through submenu.
e: on an application entry, launch it without exiting.
b: on a submenu to go back to the parent menu.
Installation
Pip:
pip install xdgmenu
setuptools:
python setup.py install
Configuration
Since i am using i3, a quick how-to integrate it in nicely. Add to your
.i3/config:
set $term <your terminall emulator>
bindsym <keybinding> $term -e 'xgmenu' --title xdgmenu
for window [title="xdgmenu"] floating enable
Roadmap
Implement entry description on ‘d’ keypress (a simple text widget
displaying the programm help).
Implement a search mode.
Find how to correctly handle logging with urwid application.
Separate the urwid logic from the application one.
Package and upload to pypi.
