Description-en: Creates X menus from the shell
This is ratmenu, a simple program that allows you to create X menus from the
shell. Although designed for ratpoison, it will work with any ICCCM compliant
window manager.
.
It was forked from 9menu version 1.5, to provide specific support
for the ratpoison window manager. Where 9menu only responds to the mouse, and
ignores the keyboard, ratmenu has all mouse sensitivity taken out, and only
responds to the keyboard. Since then it has evolved nifty features and
behaviors of its own. The source code was also cleaned up and old cruft
weeded out.
