There's a clone of dmenu - https://github.com/oNaiPs/dmenu-mac, but it doesn't integrate with Spotlight or similar.


Yeah, Ive seen that, but it would be a hard sell getting macOS guys to run that and replace the spotlight keybind with that entirely. I tend to agree with them too.. I just would like to see Spotlight have the ability to do dmenu scripting stuff. There's no reason it couldn't except lack of vision.

I honestly think Apple would be half keen to do it themselves, they just probably haven't seen the idea to steal it yet


I implemented something like this as a Raycast extension[0]. Demo attached[1].

Amazing!! I had never heard of Raycast! I'll be checking this out first thing in the morning! Thank you!


let me know if you have any suggestions. i’ll probably try to make it more self contained (e.g. make it possible to install the script into PATH from the extension itself) and eventually get it into Raycast extension store (haven’t read their guidelines yet though)
