A dmenu clone for the Windows operating system written in pure win32 API.
please install these first:
- fzf
- windgb
- Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022.
Then simply run ./p. You'll see a menu with these items
- build
- debug
- clean
- run
- ...
You can use winDbg for debugging wmenu. Eigher install Windows Driver Kit(WDK) or newer winDbg.
- Do not forget to add the executable of winDbg to your PATH environment variable. (
p.batwill use it!) - If you are on windows 10, you need to be sure that you have Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1607) or newer.
You can install it with choco:
choco install windows-10-update-assistant --version=1.4.9200.22175
Then just run p.bat and select debug option.

Open regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor Change: Autorun = "cls" To: Autorun = ""
- Simply open

wmenu as its core is a "GUI echo" utility.
If you pass a list of items to it via: -elements option, wmenu shows you a ComboBox and and you're able to select one of them.
After that, it echos back that item on your terminal.
If you omit -elements, wmenu starts acting like a GUI TextBox.
Now you can type something and by pressing ENTER, it will echo the content of TextBox on the screen.
Since wmenu uses the WINDOWS subsystem when compiling, you can't use stdout directly.
So you should pipe it with more command:
wmenu.exe -elements "wmenu,dmenu,dwm" | more
Or if you want to use a specific delimiter:
wmenu.exe -element-delimiter ":" -elements "wmenu:dmenu:dwm" | more
For more information about how using wmenu:
wmenu.exe -help | more
- PowerManagment:
@echo off
start /B wmenu.exe -elements "notepad;explorer;paint;" | more > %temp%/apps.txt
for /f "tokens=*" %%s in (%temp%\apps.txt) do (
if "%%s"=="notepad" ( start %%s)
else if "%%s"=="explorer" ( start %%s )
else if "%%s"=="paint" ( start mspaint )
else ( REM default case...)
)
del "%temp%\apps.txt"
