How to use

Run menu with hotkeys

1. Add the following comment line before hotkey line which you want to use in your app config file.

   eg:

   • i3: # %%hotkey: Some description of the following hotkey %%
   • openbox: <-- %%hotkey: Some description of the following hotkey %% -->

   Notice: For full configuration file examples check test/fixtures directory

2. Run the dmenu-hotkeys

   dmenu_hotkeys run --menu [dmenu|rofi] --app [i3|openbox]
   

3. Check help if you want to know more

   dmenu_hotkeys run --help
   

Override dmenu-hotkeys configuration file

If you want to change default configuration paths for apps (i3, openbox, etc) you should override dmenu-hotkeys config file.

dmenu_hotkeys copy-config

The default path for the overridden configuration file is

$HOME/.config/dmenu_hotkeys/config.cfg

You could change it

dmenu_hotkeys copy-config --dest some/path/config.cfg

But since then you always should run dmenu-hotkeys with this new path

dmenu_hotkeys run --menu [dmenu|rofi] --app [i3|openbox] --config-path some/path/config.cfg
