I created a full POSIX sh menu.
I suggest a name change, so your smenu, isn't confused with this smenu, which is a totally different entity, can present the menus in columns, lines and tabular fashion, has hotkey support, and so much more, I don't know if it is POSIX compliant, but it can also be used with sh, and just not bash.

LF filemanager is awesome - so is zsh, which I want to migrate to. But in bash and fish, you can make a function so when quitting LF, you end up in the dir you were in in LF. can't find something similar for zsh
in the Github page for lf under etc, you can find instruction for making such a function for bash and fish.

What are your programs missing from the official Fedora repos?
For me, the main program missing is "lf" the ranger inspired terminal file manager. 5000 stars on Github, packaged in the official repos for basically anything under the sun except Fedora and a key part in my day-to-day workflow. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
