# dmenu_path: Override dmenu_path sorting results by atime.
#
# By default, dmenu_path sorts executables alphabetically. It seems to make
# more sense to sort them by atime in an effort to reduce the number of
# keystrokes needed to start a program.

echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | uniq | sed 's#$#/#' | # List directories in $PATH
  xargs ls -lu --time-style=+%s |                # Add atime epoch
  awk '/^(-|l)/ { print $6, $7 }' |              # Only print timestamp and name
  sort -rn | cut -d' ' -f 2
