+tmenu
+====
+Text displayed != text output
+For each line, if the delimeter character (tab by default, selectable with -d option) is present, the text before that character will be the text output, and the text after that delimiter will be the text displayed on the menu.
+
+For example,
+$ echo "~/.local/bin" " " "local binarys" | dmenu
+will display "local binarys" in dmenu. When this option is selected, "~/.local/bin" will be output to stdout
+
+When the delimiter character is not present, the behavior is the same as w/o this patch
