A selection of information output tools for dmenu
These are a selection of independant tools for displaying various information
about system status in dmenu. Some of them i.e. volume
have options (up, down, mute...)
which are selectable options in dmenu.
Tools

/rofi
calculate
a calculator, utilisingqalculate
- inspired by @fedopsemoji
an emoji pickerremmina
reads the files in your remmina config directory and allows you to connect to and edit themtranslate
utilises libretranslate (you'll need and API key or your own instance) to translate test. Prefix the text withen>de
,de>en
,en>fr
, etc. as you need. Must be compiled with-d:ssl
The next two do not work with rofi
unless you have alias dmenu=rofi
set, but they're pretty nice tools
passmenu_wrapper
a wrapper for passmenu. It basically just stylespassmenu
with no other featurescommand_wrapper
inspired by passmenu_wrapper, a basic tool to run otherdmenu
related tools with uniform styling.- For example:
dmenu_run
,clipmenu
,passmenu
etc.
- For example:
Example in dmenu
:
Example of command_wrapper
with clipmenu
How to compile
There are some configuration variables explicit to me, you'll need to change them for you for them to be useful I imagine.
Configuration variables are compile - there are no config files or runtime parameters (except for "rofi")
Each tool is compiled separately, for example:
nim c pingclock
and then run with
./pingclock
or
./pingclock rofi
How to use
Personally, I have these bound to key combinations in i3.
In fact, I have a seperate bindsym
mode in which all these
tools are accessible i.e. $mod+i
to get to "info" mode then p
to show pingclock.
It's completely up to you how to run them, they're just simple CLI tools really.
You can also set the volume and brightness levels by typing a numeric figure into the dmenu/rofi input box
Dependencies
dmenu
orrofi
yad
for calendarpassmenu
for passmenu_wrapper- basically any tool that's used to gather the information.
- "tools" for audio etc. (
pamixer
,ncpamixer
, etc.) can be set in the source
Full disclosure
I'm aware my code is messy.
I'm aware my code is mostly undocumented.
But hopefully these things are simple enough to work out.
