BTW, my dmenu replacement on Wayland is just a terminal with fzf:
https://git.sr.ht/~emersion/dotfiles/tree/master/item/bin/menu
Make it a launcher with:
dmenu_path | menu | xargs swaymsg exec
@emersion So I guess on wayland the VTE is going to become the standard drawing API for small apps?
@swiley Cairo can do 2D drawing, but yeah you'll need some glue code to setup shm buffers, there's no widespread lightweight lib for this
