Hello,
I already mentioned it on IRC, but wouldn't it be an improvement to
integrate wmiimenu's functionality into wmiiwm and expose it through 9P?
For the usual Mod+p program menu it could work as follows:
1. wmiirc creates a list of all executables and stores it into
/menu/programs.
2. The user presses Mod+p. wmiirc writes "show programs" into
/menu/ctl. wmiiwm displays the menu.
3. If the user selects a menu item an event is generated,
e.g. MenuSelect programs xterm
4. wmiirc starts xterm
This has some advantages:
A wmiirc would not have to pipe the whole menu contents into wmiimenu
everytime the menu is to be shown, instead it has to create a file with
the menu items once.
All interactions would be done via 9P.
Opinions?
