Is there something like the fluxbox menu without fluxbox?

I'm running Evilwm as my wm and very much like the minimalism, but lately I've been kind of missing the menu from Fluxbox.

So I got to wondering if there was something similar out there; i.e. a program that opens a menu on some keycombo (say, control + right mouse. xbindkeys can sort out the details), displays a list of programs that can be launched, and upon either a selection by the user or some escape sequence removes the menu again. Any ideas?

I dunno about a drop-down style menu like the one found in fluxbox, but I guess you could try out using dmenu after binding it to the key of your choice. It's probably not the best option, but it works nonetheless.
