# pathmenu

[![builds.sr.ht status](https://builds.sr.ht/~chambln/pathmenu.svg)](https://builds.sr.ht/~chambln/pathmenu)

pathmenu is a purely POSIX shell script that allows

the user to browse the filesystem and select files with

[**dmenu**(1)](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/).

As in the example below, the -c *command* option makes

it possible to use something else like **fzf**(1) or **rofi**(1) as a

drop-in replacement for dmenu.

    pathmenu -c 'fzf --prompt "$PWD/"'

# Installation

    make install

Optionally specify a prefix; for example:

    make PREFIX=~/.local install

# Usage

See **pathmenu**(1) and the example scripts in `examples/*`.

**Hint:** When using **dmenu**(1), partial matches can be ‘selected’

explicitly (i.e. without completing them) using Shift +

Return;  this is useful for selecting a non-existent file

whose name is a substring of an existing file.

# To-do

- [ ] Improve dicemenu

- [ ] Fix dicemenu globs for multiple directories (e.g. `*/` when

      there are at least two visible directories present); it should

      consider all matches as final selections for the secondary

      `dice` menu to act upon, rather than trying to **cd**(1) to it.
