herbstlufwm - manually position window (like dmenu)
hello,
so i've been a happy herbstlufwm use for a while now. but dmenu is making me mad. i need better completions for files and arguments that i don't think anything other than my actual zsh shell can handle. so i guess my new end game is to manually position an instance of urxvt on the top of the screen in a thin bar and use it as a demu replacement. the problem is i can't find any documentation about doing that in herbstlufwm. i know it's technically possible (since dmenu does it) but i'm not sure where to start.
thank you.

Re: herbstlufwm - manually position window (like dmenu)
I've only recently become interested in herbstluftwm---so I might not really know what I'm talking about---but might it be possible to create a (virtual) monitor in your configuration that does this, similar to the q3term.sh script?

Have a look at replacing dmenu with interrobang.
Ignore the bit in the first post that mentions it's not compatible with zsh, it now is.
Trilby's usually around if you have any questions/feature requests.
