Re: [dwm] X paste support for dmenu?

My imagination is not limited, you do not have to offend me, thank you ;-)
It is just that to run xterm, you probably won't go searching for text
'xterm' in browser or in other app. Detto with other programs.
Copying is a nice idea in general, but I haven't heard a single useful
pattern for dmenu yet. Dmenu is just keyboard driven application starter.
Adding any more functionality just because someone thinks it's nice (and he
doesn't even mention any use-case) isn't a right way of doing things IMHO.
That argument thing of yours doesn't sound very useful also. Can you give a
more concrete example?
