gsmenu's Introduction

`gsmenu` - a generic visual menu
================================

`gsmenu` is a program that reads a list of entries from standard input
(one per line) and provides a visual, grid-based interface from which
the user can select one, with either mouse or keyboard.  The manual
page contains full documentation.

Installation
------------

Assuming a working Cabal install, just do 'cabal install'.  Any
missing dependencies will automatically be downloaded and installed.
You may have to perform a 'cabal update' first to ensure that your
package list is up to date.

Inspiration
-----------

This program is mostly a port of the GridSelect contrib for XMonad by
Clemens Fruhwirth.

Bugs
----

Please report any found bugs to the maintainer at <[email protected]>.

gsmenu's Issues

feature request: allow specification of what to output on exit indepedent of "name"

(gsmenu is very cool -- thanks for it. I hope a feature request isn't unwelcome.)

It would be nice if, with the complex input format, one could specify a value (for some new field) for what should be output on exit indepedent of the name fields, that is, indepedent of anything being displayed in the boxes gsmenu draws.

For instance, if the new field were called "output", one could pass gsmenu a line of the form:

name="quote ""this"" please" tags="bar" "baz" bg="red" output="firefox"

and if the user selected the "quote ""this"" please" box, gsmenu would output firefox.

Existing usage would be unchanged, but the user could associate complex ugly values with simple beautiful labels, so exec gsmenu could launch a complex ugly command.
