xnotify VS pmenu

you might be able to combine https://github.com/phillbush/xnotify and something like xclip

xnotify

First, in the video, I use πmenu to change the song. A xnotify notification pops up showing the current song.

The third is xnotify, a notification system and dbus-less dunst replacement.

It does not have a context menu. Instead, it uses a script set in the $XFILES_CONTEXTCMD environment variable. This script must call xmenu, pmenu, thingmenu, jgmenu, or any other mouse-controllable menu; and gets as argument the paths to selected files.

sounds like a great idea actually. Check out https://github.com/phillbush/pmenu I haven't had time sadly.

Maybe give this a shot? https://github.com/phillbush/pmenu

https://github.com/phillbush/pmenu Additions of this new version: * Added submenu generation at runtime (when output spec begins with $). * Added -P option to prepend relative image paths with a prefix (#9). * Added tooltips that appear after hovering a item for one second.

It's πmenu.

First, in the video, I use πmenu to change the song. A xnotify notification pops up showing the current song.

The second is πmenu, a pie menu.
