Auto-detects the available menu engine if not set.

Supported engines (tested in order):

  • fuzzel
  • tofi
  • rofi
  • wofi
  • bemenu
  • dmenu
  • anyrun
  • walker

NOTE

If your menu system isn't supported, you can open a feature request

In case the engine isn't recognized, engine + parameters configuration options will be used to start the process, it requires a dmenu-like behavior.

parameters

Extra parameters added to the engine command. Setting this will override the engine's default value.

TIP

You can use [prompt] in the parameters, it will be replaced by the prompt, eg for rofi/wofi:

sh
-dmenu -matching fuzzy -i -p '[prompt]'
