### Installation
|
|
|
|
RMenu now has Nix support thanks to
|
|
[@LordGrimmauld](https://github.com/LordGrimmauld)!
|
|
|
|
Install Dependencies (Ubuntu)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install pkg-config libglib2.0-dev libghc-gi-gdk-dev libsoup-3.0-dev libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libnm-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Compile and Install Binaries/Config-Files
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
View all available options with the builtin help:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ rmenu --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ rmenu -r run
|
|
$ rmenu -r drun
|
|
$ rmenu -r audio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or even run plugins in combination if you'd like:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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](./rmenu-plugin)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ generate-my-menu.sh | rmenu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
Customize RMenu Behavior and Appearal in a
|
|
[single config](./rmenu/public/config.yaml)
|
|
|
|
Customize the entire app's appearance with CSS. A few
|
|
[Example Themes](./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](./other-plugins) for example uses.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rmenu-build --help
|
|
```
|
|
