Run rofi in dmenu mode. Allowing it to be used for user interaction in scripts.
In `dmenu` mode, **rofi** will read input from STDIN, and will output to STDOUT by default.
Example to let the user choose between three pre-defined options:
echo -e "Option #1\nOption #2\nOption #3" | rofi -dmenu
Or get the options from a script:
~/my_script.sh | rofi -dmenu
Pressing `shift-enter` will open the selected entries and move to the next entry.
`-show` *mode*
