CaseSensitive - bakkeby/dmenu GitHub Wiki

By default the suckless dmenu has case sensitive input which means that if you have two options of "Yes" and "No" and you input y then that will not match any of the options as the letter case does not match.

This can be disabled with the command line option of -i which makes dmenu case insensitive.

Then there is a patch for dmenu called case-insensitive which makes dmenu case insensitive by default replacing the -i command line option with a -s option to make dmenu case sensitive.

In this build both options have been replaced with the CaseSensitive functionality which can be disabled in config.h to make dmenu case insensitive by default.

In terms of command line options one can use -i (alternatively -NoCaseSensitive) to make dmenu case insensitive and -I (alternatively -CaseSensitive) to make dmenu case sensitive.

Back to Functionality.
