Overview

I use pdmenu a lot to help me do work on my main desktop PC. I did an HPR show on pdmenu on 13 December 2017 and the author Joey Hess responded in show 2459.

In the intervening time I have also integrated Zenity into my menus. This is a GUI tool which generates a number of different pop-up windows known as dialogs, which can display information, or into which information can be typed. The capabilities provided by pdmenu are a little too basic to enable me to do what I need to do.

I thought it might be of interest to show some examples of how I use this tool with pdmenu.

Long notes

I have provided detailed notes as usual for this episode, and these can be viewed here.
