Thank you for pointing out an error in my documentation. I was
confusing dmenu with UMENU. I will quickly fix my documentation.

In fact, dmenu DOES NOT act without your pressing Enter.

My bad.

Unless you press Enter, nothing happens after the typo, except the
wrong list elements get deleted, and Backspace gets you back to where
you were before the typo.

Thanks for making me aware of my mistake! I use dmenu so subconsciously
that the brain in my head (as opposed to the brain in my hands)
believed that you don't press Enter :-)
