  • rofi

    Rofi: A window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement

  • Have a look into dmenu, rofi and xmenu. They are all good at different things. The first two are keyboard driven and support a basic application menu by default. Xmenu is more like a context menu. For the most part you create the menus yourself with scripts. You can pipe stuff into their stdin and get the selected entry via stdout. Here is an example of what I use for my dwm build.
