Notes on personal build

This version of dmenu has a few personal changes:

  • Uses the nord theme
  • instant patch; accepts last option if only one is available (disabled by default)
  • dmenu_run uses a history file, can launch a terminal with said command by appending "!" to it
  • initial text patch
  • offset to match bar offset I use in dwm
  • multiselection patch
