+no-default-select
+=================
+This patch changes how the default selection works. It depends on [gridnav](../gridnav).
+
+By default, dmenu selects the first entry.
+I like the [gridnav](../gridnav) patch which along with [grid](../grid) lets you see the results in a grid and use right and left arrow to move around in dropdown. But you lose the ability to move in typed text because the default selection feature of dmenu.
+
+This patch fixes it by not selecting anything by default. So, now one can move in text and in dropdown.
