RMenu Comes with a few default plugins.

Name	Description
run	Execute a program in $PATH
drun	Run a Configured Free-Desktop Application
audio	Select and Set-Default PulseAudio Sink using pactl
network	Wi-Fi Login/Connection Tool using Network-Manager
window	Simple Window Switcher (Currently Only Support Sway)
powermenu	Simple Power/Logout Tool (Currently Only Supports Sway)

Run a plugin by passing the -r flag like one of the following:

$ rmenu -r run
$ rmenu -r drun
$ rmenu -r audio

Or even run plugins in combination if you'd like:

$ rmenu -r run -r drun

Custom Menus can also be passed much like Dmenu by passing items via an input. The schema follows a standard as defined in rmenu-plugin

$ generate-my-menu.sh > input.json
$ rmenu -i input.json

When neither a plugin nor an input are specified, rmenu defaults to reading from stdin.

$ generate-my-menu.sh | rmenu

Configuration

Customize RMenu Behavior and Appearal in a single config

Customize the entire app's appearance with CSS. A few Example Themes are available as reference. To try them out use: rmenu --css <my-css-theme> or move the css file to $HOME/.config/rmenu/style.css

Scripting

RMenu plugins and imports communicate using JSON messages defined in rmenu-plugin. Writing JSON in shell is painful, so rmenu provides another cli-tool to help build messages quickly and easily while still retaining the flexibility of JSON.

After Installing. Use the following command, and look at other-plugins for example uses.

$ rmenu-build --help
