    dmenu patch «print input text»
    
    Just a simple dmenu patch and the corresponding wiki page for it.
    It basically swaps Return and Shift+Return functions. I use it
    for surf's url bar.

+print input text
+================
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This patch adds a flag (`-t`) which makes Return key to ignore selection
+and print the input text to stdout. The flag basically swaps the functions
+of Return and Shift+Return hotkeys.
+
+The default behaviour of dmenu makes sense when selecting from given options
+(i.e. as a program launcher) but it is annoying when you might be entering
+text that is different than the given options (i.e. as surf's url bar).
+
+Usage in Surf
+-------------
+
+Just add the `-t` flag to the dmenu in the SETPROP function of surf's
+config.def.h. Now the url bar should behave just like in all other browsers.
