Q&A

Why are there no command-line options?

In true suckless fashion, shmenu is configured through its source code. I usually don't prefer this philosophy, but dmenu was meant (as far as I know) to be used through shell scripts, after all; since shmenu itself is written in Bash, you can include the modified shmenu with it. I will still consider it, though.

Why is there no support for text navigation?

The only time I used that with dmenu was when I was executing commands, and there isn't really a reason to do that with shmenu as it's run from a terminal.
