Smenu, a command-line advanced selection filter and a menu builder for terminal

  This is like dmenu but it stays in the terminal. I've needed something like this in the past before for some scripts. Neat.

    I used dmenu as my main application launcher for a few years. I switched to Mac a few years ago and still miss dmenu and dwm (or just tiling window managers, in general). Could just be rose-tinted glasses, however. Anyone who hasn't seen suckless.org (where dmenu comes from) should look through what's on there. It has some really small and often useful tools.

      Spotlight is kind of like dmenu but it also searches for files and stuff. I do agree on the tiling WM bit :(.

        You can configure what Spotlight indexes. I turn off a lot of it so that it doesn't suddenly use a bunch of CPU indexing things that I don't care about. System Preferences > Spotlight > Search Results

  I've been happily using vis-menu which is a fork of slmenu which is a terminal version of dmenu: http://martanne.github.io/vis/man/vis-menu.1.html http://martanne.github.io/vis/man/vis-menu.1.html vis-menu is distributed with vis: https://github.com/martanne/vis https://github.com/martanne/vis This project seems fine as well; though the examples seemed a bit complicated to me. I guess I'll need to rtfm.
