PROGRAM:
NAME
i3-dmenu-desktop - run .desktop files with dmenu
SYNOPSIS
i3-dmenu-desktop [--dmenu='dmenu -i'] [--entry-type=name]
DESCRIPTION
i3-dmenu-desktop is a script which extracts the (localized) name from application .desktop
files, offers the user a choice via dmenu(1) and then starts the chosen application via i3
(for startup notification support). The advantage of using .desktop files instead of
dmenu_run(1) is that dmenu_run offers all binaries in your $PATH, including non-
interactive utilities like "sed". Also, .desktop files contain a proper name, information
about whether the application runs in a terminal and whether it supports startup
notifications.
The .desktop files are searched in $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications (by default
$HOME/.local/share/applications) and in the "applications" subdirectory of each entry of
$XDG_DATA_DIRS (by default /usr/local/share/:/usr/share/).
Files with the same name in $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications take precedence over files in
$XDG_DATA_DIRS, so that you can overwrite parts of the system-wide .desktop files by
copying them to your local directory and making changes.
i3-dmenu-desktop displays the "Name" value in the localized version depending on
LC_MESSAGES as specified in the Desktop Entry Specification.
You can pass a filename or URL (%f/%F and %u/%U field codes in the .desktop file
respectively) by appending it to the name of the application. E.g., if you want to launch
"GNU Emacs 24" with the patch /tmp/foobar.txt, you would type "emacs", press TAB, type "
/tmp/foobar.txt" and press ENTER.
.desktop files with Terminal=true are started using i3-sensible-terminal(1).
.desktop files with NoDisplay=true or Hidden=true are skipped.
UTF-8 is supported, of course, but dmenu does not support displaying all glyphs. E.g.,
xfce4-terminal.desktop's Name[fi]=Pääte will be displayed just fine, but not its
Name[ru]=Терминал.
OPTIONS
--dmenu=command
Execute command instead of 'dmenu -i'. This option can be used to pass custom
parameters to dmenu, or to make i3-dmenu-desktop start a custom (patched?) version of
dmenu.
--entry-type=type
Display the (localized) "Name" (type = name), the command (type = command) or the
(*.desktop) filename (type = filename) in dmenu. This option can be specified multiple
times.
Examples are "GNU Image Manipulation Program" (type = name), "gimp" (type = command),
and "libreoffice-writer" (type = filename).
