  • gal

    • I am writing some scripts to make certain tasks on my computer easier to do. The script I just finished is called gal which is my application launcher. To get the menu that I use to chose what program I want to run I check for an environment variable called PROMPT_MENU, which for me is set to dmenu -bp, and then I run it within the script as PROMPT_MENU "prompt". What I wanted to ask is if there is a way to pass extra command-line arguments to PROMPT_MENU. Like if I wanted to run specifically gal as gal -c or gal -t. Is there a way to do this with prompt menu? How do I handle this with using the -p argument?
