+dmenu - dynamic menu
+====================
+dmenu is an efficient dynamic menu for X.
+
+Personal Adjustments
+--------------------
+This build has a history feature, can open a terminal window
+if command ends in "!" and is adjust to fit bar padding used in dwm.
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+In order to build dmenu you need the Xlib header files.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dmenu is installed into
+the /usr/local namespace by default).
+
+Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dmenu
+(if necessary as root):
+
+    make clean install
+
+
+Running dmenu
+-------------
+See the man page for details.

+.RB [ \-w
+.IR windowid ]
+.P
+.BR dmenu_run " ..."
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B dmenu
+is a dynamic menu for X, which reads a list of newline\-separated items from
+stdin.  When the user selects an item and presses Return, their choice is printed
+to stdout and dmenu terminates.  Entering text will narrow the items to those
+matching the tokens in the input.
+.P
+.B dmenu_run
+is a script used by
+.IR dwm (1)
+which lists programs in the user's $PATH and runs the result in their $SHELL.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-b
+dmenu appears at the bottom of the screen.
+.TP
+.B \-f
+dmenu grabs the keyboard before reading stdin if not reading from a tty. This
+is faster, but will lock up X until stdin reaches end\-of\-file.
+.TP
+.B \-i
+dmenu matches menu items case insensitively.
+.TP
+.BI \-l " lines"
+dmenu lists items vertically, with the given number of lines.
+.TP
+.BI \-m " monitor"
+dmenu is displayed on the monitor number supplied. Monitor numbers are starting
+from 0.
+.TP
+.BI \-p " prompt"
+defines the prompt to be displayed to the left of the input field.
+.TP
+.BI \-fn " font"
+defines the font or font set used.
+.TP
+.BI \-nb " color"
+defines the normal background color.
+.IR #RGB ,
+.IR #RRGGBB ,
+and X color names are supported.
+.TP
+.BI \-nf " color"
+defines the normal foreground color.
+.TP
+.BI \-sb " color"
+defines the selected background color.
+.TP
+.BI \-sf " color"
+defines the selected foreground color.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+prints version information to stdout, then exits.
+.TP
+.BI \-w " windowid"
+embed into windowid.
+.SH USAGE
+dmenu is completely controlled by the keyboard.  Items are selected using the
+arrow keys, page up, page down, home, and end.
+.TP
+.B Tab
+Copy the selected item to the input field.
+.TP
+.B Return
+Confirm selection.  Prints the selected item to stdout and exits, returning
+success.
+.TP
+.B Ctrl-Return
+Confirm selection.  Prints the selected item to stdout and continues.
+.TP
+.B Shift\-Return
+Confirm input.  Prints the input text to stdout and exits, returning success.
+.TP
+.B Escape
+Exit without selecting an item, returning failure.
+.TP
+.B Ctrl-Left
+Move cursor to the start of the current word
+.TP
+.B Ctrl-Right
+Move cursor to the end of the current word
