you mean you want to choose between "return current result" vs "return
all current matches" at run-time? What's a use case for that?
I think this should be configured with a commandline argument, because
the script that calls dmenu needs to know in advance what kind of
output it will get anyway and it depends on what task the script will
do. Or am I missing something?
