I really don't think this is a good idea. Most users do (and
should) expect the arrow keys to move the caret. You can rebind
them now, if you really need to, but please don't provide that
to your users as the default configuration. Probably the biggest
complaint about dmenu/wmiimenu is the lack of a movable caret,
and if the arrow keys don't work, your users will never figure
out how to use it.

>More importantly, is wimenu meant to be a replacement for dmenu in wmii?

Yes, yes, god yes.
