Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Controlling which menu program passmenu uses
Message-ID: <20251231040111.10004-1-ivan.brennan@gmail.com>

Hi, I'd like to propose a small change to passmenu that would allow the user to
control which menu program (dmenu, tofi, etc.) is used. This would introduce an
optional environment variable, PASSWORD_STORE_DMENU.

A usage example,

    PASSWORD_STORE_DMENU=tofi passmenu

Thanks,
Ivan

Introduce a PASSWORD_STORE_DMENU environment variable the user can set
to specify a program that passmenu should use in place of dmenu.

 Note that the latter requires access to the [uinput][] device, so you'll probably
 need to add an extra udev rule or similar to give certain non-root users permission.
