XdgMenu
=======

**A ncurses application menu**. *The missing stone of my i3 setup.*

Description
-----------

A simple and lightweight alternative to Desktop Environment's
application menu. To be used when you do not remember the name of this
new pdf reader you just installed yesterday night...

Dependencies:

-  **PyXdg**: python's freedesktop bindings, used in order to generate
   the menu.
-  **Urwid**: a framework build on top of ncurses.

Keybindings (case insensitive):

-  **j,k,l,m or arrow**: Navigate between menu entries.
-  **c**: Cycle through submenu.
-  **e**: on an application entry, launch it without exiting.
-  **b**: on a submenu to go back to the parent menu.

Installation
------------

Pip:

::

    pip install xdgmenu

setuptools:

::

    python setup.py install

Configuration
-------------

Since i am using i3, a quick how-to integrate it in nicely. Add to your
**.i3/config**:

::

    set $term <your terminall emulator>

    bindsym <keybinding> $term -e 'xgmenu' --title xdgmenu
    for window [title="xdgmenu"] floating enable

Roadmap
-------

-  Implement entry description on 'd' keypress (a simple text widget
   displaying the programm help).
-  Implement a search mode.
-  Find how to correctly handle logging with urwid application.
-  Separate the urwid logic from the application one.
-  Package and upload to pypi.

Tests
-----

No test yet but contribution are welcomed ;)
