hi again

I wonder if its possible to add a switch (ie keepmenu -d?) to launch keepmenu direct into view mode without first pressing `view/type individual entries'

for me i view alot of info in entries throughout the day and it could make life just a tad easier :D

thx

I took a look at this for awhile. It is possible. Is it worth the added code complexity to save one keystroke? You just have to hit 'Enter' to open the 'View/Type' menu (it's the default selection). Unless you're binding 'keepmenu -d' to a separate keybinding in your window manager, you use more keystrokes to type ' -d' then just hitting 'Enter'. I'm open to more arguments or other possible uses for command line switches, but my instinct is keep it as simple as possible.

yeah i guess i see your logic and can live with it :D
I would indeed have 2 separate binds for each argument but i understand your point

Bind to or alias a script like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
~/.local/bin/keepmenu
sleep 0.1  # adjust as needed
xdotool key Return

What would be more useful, though hardly necessary, are keybinds or menu entries that allow backward navigation.
