PrintIndex - bakkeby/dmenu GitHub Wiki
The PrintIndex
functionality, if enabled, will make dmenu output the index of the selected item
rather than the selected item text.
Practical example:
By default if hitting enter on this selection the item text of "config.def.h" will be returned:
$ ls | dmenu
config.def.h
vs -k
(or alternatively -PrintIndex
) which enables printing of index:
$ ls | dmenu -k

The PrintIndex
and the PrintInputText functionalities are mutually exclusive
with the latter taking precedence.
The functionality originates from the printindex patch for dmenu.
