kasalehlia / dynmenu Goto Github PK

One might accidentally add commands to the table which are already in it.

The README lacks information about how to set up dynmenu.

My approach so far (using code from pull-request #2):

git clone <repo url> # to ~/.menu
cat menu.sql | sqlite3 main.sqlite
{ echo "BEGIN;"; dmenu_path|{while read c; do echo "INSERT INTO commands (cmd) VALUES ('$c');" ; done}; echo "END;" } | sqlite3 test.sqlite
sqlite3 main.sqlite
# change dmenu hotkey to ~/.menu/menu main

I am not sure if it is actually desirable to delete old and now non-existant commands, maybe not by default.

Keeping non-existant commands is a problem to me when a program is renamed but the old defunct command has been called a lot and thus will always be selected first.

This affects eg. when parameters are entered.
