    Linux command line tool for selecting items from a list. Similar to dmenu, but remains on the command line and does not require a window manager.

  • cmenu takes a list of items from stdin and displays an interactive menu within the terminal.

  • You could also do this using fzf and get fuzzy-matching for free. For example: cd $(ls -d */ | fzf)
