+dmenu is a generic menu for X, originally designed for
 .BR dwm (1).
-It supports arbitrary, user defined menu contents.
+It manages huge amounts (up to 10.000 and more) of user defined menu items
+efficiently.
 .SS Options

 .SH USAGE
-.B dmenu
-reads a list of newline-separated items from stdin and creates a menu.
-When the user selects an item or enters any text and presses Return, his choice
-is printed to stdout and

 .TP
-Left/Right
+.B Left/Right
 Select the previous/next item.

-Tab
+.B Tab
 Copy the selected item to the input field.
 .TP
-Return
-Confirm selection and quit (print the selected item to stdout).
+.B Return
+Confirm selection and quit (print the selected item to standard output). Returns

 .TP
-Shift-Return
-Confirm selection and quit (print the text in the input field to stdout).
+.B Shift-Return
+Confirm selection and quit (print the text in the input field to standard output).
+Returns
+.B 0
+on termination.
 .TP
-Escape
-Quit without selecting an item.
+.B Escape
+Quit without selecting an item. Returns
+.B 1
+on termination.
 .TP
-Backspace (Control-h)
+.B Backspace (Control-h)
 Remove enough characters from the input field to change its filtering effect.
 .TP
-Control-u
+.B Control-u
 Remove all characters from the input field.
-.P
-.B dmenu
-returns
-.B 0
-if Return is pressed on termination,
-.B 1
-if Escape is pressed.
 .SH CUSTOMIZATION
