 1# xl
 2the late lnd for Xorg  
 3xl is a "dropdown" xorg item launcher   
 4xl reads from `$HOME/.xlrc` to see what programs to display when opened.   
 5
 6## usage
 7clicking on a entry in xl causes the entry printed to stdout, so it can be later piped to sh.   
 8### xlrc
 9xlrc (`$HOME/.xlrc`) is a file in which xl reads from. 
10anything - as long as it works in your shell - can be put in it.   
11   
12EMPTY in a xlrc file means the entry will be blank and unclickable.   
13if your line starts with `!`, it is a title.   
14   
15example:
16```
17EMPTY
18!tools
19st
20xd
21!other
22firefox
23scrot
24EMPTY
25```
