=head1 NAME

    i3-dmenu-desktop - run .desktop files with dmenu

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    i3-dmenu-desktop [--dmenu='dmenu -i'] [--entry-type=name]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

i3-dmenu-desktop is a script which extracts the (localized) name from
application .desktop files, offers the user a choice via dmenu(1) and then
starts the chosen application via i3 (for startup notification support).
The advantage of using .desktop files instead of dmenu_run(1) is that dmenu_run
offers B<all> binaries in your $PATH, including non-interactive utilities like
"sed". Also, .desktop files contain a proper name, information about whether
the application runs in a terminal and whether it supports startup
notifications.

The .desktop files are searched in $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications (by default
$HOME/.local/share/applications) and in the "applications" subdirectory of each
entry of $XDG_DATA_DIRS (by default /usr/local/share/:/usr/share/).

Files with the same name in $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications take precedence over
files in $XDG_DATA_DIRS, so that you can overwrite parts of the system-wide
.desktop files by copying them to your local directory and making changes.

i3-dmenu-desktop displays the "Name" value in the localized version depending
on LC_MESSAGES as specified in the Desktop Entry Specification.

You can pass a filename or URL (%f/%F and %u/%U field codes in the .desktop
file respectively) by appending it to the name of the application. E.g., if you
want to launch "GNU Emacs 24" with the patch /tmp/foobar.txt, you would type
"emacs", press TAB, type " /tmp/foobar.txt" and press ENTER.

.desktop files with Terminal=true are started using i3-sensible-terminal(1).

.desktop files with NoDisplay=true or Hidden=true are skipped.

UTF-8 is supported, of course, but dmenu does not support displaying all
glyphs. E.g., xfce4-terminal.desktop's Name[fi]=Pääte will be displayed just
fine, but not its Name[ru]=Терминал.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over

=item B<--dmenu=command>

Execute command instead of 'dmenu -i'. This option can be used to pass custom
parameters to dmenu, or to make i3-dmenu-desktop start a custom (patched?)
version of dmenu.

=item B<--entry-type=type>

Display the (localized) "Name" (type = name), the command (type = command) or
the (*.desktop) filename (type = filename) in dmenu. This option can be
specified multiple times.

Examples are "GNU Image Manipulation Program" (type = name), "gimp" (type =
command), and "libreoffice-writer" (type = filename).
