NAME
awesome-menu - awesome menu system
SYNOPSIS
awesome-menu [-c config] [-e command] <title>
DESCRIPTION
awesome-menu is a tool which will pop up a menu on your screen,
grabbing keyboard and allowing you to search through an initial
completion list, or using your files as completion.
USAGE
By default, awesome-menu reads completion from standard input. If
nothing is read, the completion list is built from the current working
directory files.
- To build a menu with all the executable files of /usr/bin:
- ls /usr/bin | awesome-menu -e ´exec ´ ´Execute´
- To build the same menu and run the programs in a terminal window:
ls /usr/bin | awesome-menu -e ´xterm -e exec ´ ´Execute in terminal´- To build an ssh connection prompt:
cut -d´ ´ -f1 ~/.ssh/known_hosts | cut -d, -f1 | awesome-menu -e ´xterm -e ssh ´ ´ssh to:´- If you do not specify the -e option, the result will be sent to
standard output. You can do things like that:
gzip "$(awesome-menu ´"File to gzip´)"
OPTIONS
- -c config
- Use an alternate configuration file instead of $HOME/.awesomerc.
- -e command
- Command to execute. The result is appended to the end of this
command (like xargs). - <title>
- Print this title. This is also used to identify the menu section in the awesomerc file.
