bmenu's Issues

Font settings sub-menu in Appearance menu

What about adding Font settings submenu in Appearance menu? "Font settings" item should replace "Select font" item. This sub-menu will allow us to open more options for font configuration.

exit - navigation

It would be great to use '0' everywhere in the menu tree to navigate one level up.
At the moment I find it confusing and in some places not logical that for example when you are inside a sub-menu of >Appearance you need a different number depending on how many options are available.
Also in this situation I'd expect 'cancel' to directed me back to 'Appearance' and not two levels up to the main menu.
I know that mhwd-tui is actually not the same piece of software, but of course when navigating the options you have the feeling that you stay inside the same application.
Therefor it is confusing that in mhwd-tui exit navigation is different again.
I would expect when I am for example inside the option 'Install kernel', that '0' whould bring me back to mhwd-tui.
Ctrl+c should maybe be the shortcut to abort and exit bmenu altogether, no matter where you currently are.

initmenu overwrites config files & typo

initmenu creates the wrong file on line 45:
sudo cp /etc/systemd/system.conf /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/10-logind.conf && \

Should be:
sudo cp /etc/systemd/system.conf /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/10-system.conf && \

Also for me it overwrites the file if it exists? perhaps it could be:

system.conf)
 if [ -f /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/10-system.conf ]
        then sudo $TEXTEDITOR /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/10-system.conf
    else
        sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/ && \
        sudo cp /etc/systemd/system.conf /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/10-system.conf && \
        sudo $TEXTEDITOR /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/10-system.conf
    fi
break

typo in xrandr command in bmenu 0.5-3

I am trying to connect an HDM1 monitor.

If I try through bmenu connect/disconnect monitor option, i get the following message:
xrandr unrecognized option --putput

I can do it ok if I just execute xrandr through the command line, and of course, I type --output instead of --putput

I'm using Manjaro 18.0.4 on Kernel 4.19.56-1 with bmenu 0.5-3

no handling for present /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

In case db is locked bmenu should throw an error when for example failing to install ranger. Instead it simply does nothing at the moment.

Can't confirm font size

Hi, I use Manjaro-i3. After few days I'm trying to configure fonts but when I run bmenu -> 3 Set font then choose a font and type in the size, I cannot confirm it. Tried enter - does nothing, escape - same, even tried insert - it's the only one that gives an output:

Wrong. Press any key and try again

How do I confirm the font size?

release tags

How about creating official release tags? Like that we'll be able to use pkgver() nicely in the future... :)

unable to use option "toggle dark theme"

In bmenu, selecting 4 for appearance, and then 5 for toggle dark theme, gets response "unknown option" in red, followed by "wait and try again later"

The operating environment is the manjaro 15.12 liveCD for 686 using openRC and i3.

tiny formatting thing

Congrats! What a great piece of software!
I just wanted to let you know about a tiny little cosmetic formatting thing:
"> Configuration > Setup" has one space too many after Disk utility.
Apart from that the displayed title ::Settings:: differs from the actual menu entry on the above level "Configuration"
Keep up your beautiful work! :)

Add fuzzy finder to mainmenu

I'd like to add a fuzzyfinder item to mainmenu, that would search files with fzf(-tmux), and lauch them. I'd need something similar to mimeopen or xdg-open, but with no depencies and being terminal based. Any ideas?

Which folders are listed to choose a GTK theme?

bmenu in manjaro i3 openrc 686 liveCD

Hi. Couldn't find an e-mail for you or the project, so here's an initial dump of my bmenu experience notes when evaluating the liveCD for manjaro i3 686. I really did not want to initially post any of this as a bug report before emailing you because I'm brand new to i3, and maybe some of what I'm experience may plausibly be an i3 or other issue; however, some clearly seem to be bmenu-specific

bmenu

• says it corrects the system time and timezone, but it doesn't
  update the time displayed on the panel
• selecting 1 for hardware, or 2 for display, surprisingly goes to the network to synchronize the package database, and then asks me whether I want to install, and all that without telling me what it wants to install
• selecting 6 for network gets response "wrong option" in red,
  followed by "wait and try again later"
• selecting 4 for appearance, and then 5 for toggle dark theme, gets
  response "unknown option" in red, followed by "wait and try again
  later"
• for choosing the shell or the display manager, it would be helpful
  were there some indication of the current state.

Best to respond to me at: boruch_baum @@@at@@@ gmx ...com...

unable to use option 6 (network config)

bmenu. when selecting 6 for network gets response "wrong option" in red, followed by "wait and try again later".

The operating environment is the manjaro 15.12 liveCD for 686 using openRC and i3.

Problems creating autorandr profiles

bmenu is currently creating incompatible profiles for autorandr from its 'Display/Monitor' menu. ( option 2 followed by option 7 )
When going to load/use an autorandr profile created by bmenu it fails with the error message "could not convert string to float".

While this has already been reported on autorandr ( see phillipberndt/autorandr#70 (comment) for reference ), profiles created by autorandr do not experience this problem and load as expected.

Implement scanner support

Right now, the scanner support is pretty shoddy. I'm considering just adding an item to launch/install some graphical scanner application.

Does anyone have ideas how to make interactive scanning work from commandline?

feature request: show current state in config menu options

In bmenu, when choosing the shell or the display manager, it would be helpful were there some indication of the current state, ie which shell or display manager was currently configured.

The operating environment is the manjaro 15.12 liveCD for 686 using openRC and i3.

goes to network without asking permission first

bmenu, when selecting 1 for hardware, or 2 for display, surprisingly goes to the network to synchronize the package database, and then asks me whether I want to install, and all that without asking for permission in advance or telling me what it wants to install

systemd

in system-setup file
for detect DM, dm_detect():

systemctl cat display-manager.service | awk -F'/' '/^Exec/ {print $NF}'

or use instead of status : show

systemctl show sddm | grep "State=enabled"

---

in initmenu file, config_editor()
is very bab to edit this files ! show them yes, but do not use sudo. For change/edit systemd configurations use sub-folders for overwrite

journald.conf.d/*.conf
logind.conf.d/*.conf
coredump.conf.d/*.conf
system.conf.d/*.conf

---

other :
in this line https://github.com/Chrysostomus/bmenu/blob/master/bin/system-setup#L247 edit slim for config sddm ?

Add support for editing qt appearance

Would be great to be able to edit qt apps too.
