Re: [dwm] dmenu - how to autoconfirm selection in case of exact match?

Hi Jeremy,

thank you very much for the fast answer.

>>>Did you even try to look at the code?
I do not have any programming experience at all. I am merely a stupid end
user. Until now the most advanced stuff I've done is to compile and install
software from source. I even had to search wikipedia for diff and patch.

So, would it be sufficient to download dmenu.c and run

patch < autorun.diff ?
