Re: Anything dmenu-like?

Tim here.  Does it matter if it's a CLI application?  The accessibility
of your terminal may play a greater role, but you can use FZF (fuzzy
finder) which should be available in most repos.  If you wrap it
in a shell function, it should be pretty straightforward:

   e() { p="$(find $( echo $PATH | tr : ' ') -maxdepth 1 -type f -perm +111 | fzf -d / -n-1)" && "$p" ; }

This lets you type "e" and hit enter at the CLI, and fzf will show
you all the executibles in your $PATH, you can type using fuzzy
searching, and once selected, you can hit enter to run the program.

Not sure if that's sufficient for your needs, but should give you
something to start with.
