Re: is there a plugin to make a drop-down menu?

The quotes might be throwing it off (because its already enclosed in quotes). See if one of these versions will work:
Amazon Apps ! '/home/neocube/.webcatalog/Amazon Apps/Amazon Apps' |\...or:
Amazon Apps ! /home/neocube/.webcatalog/Amazon\ Apps/Amazon\ Apps |\
I got what you're saying, and your second version worked. But what I did was edit the apps that had a space and just replaced it with a "-" instead so I did not need the backwards slash. Thanks for your help.

what does that do? got a screenshot?
i want to be able to configure each menu item, what it's label/name/image is, and what it runs (command and arguments) when clicked. can you show how that's done with your suggestion?

It does a dropdown terminal like quake, when click off of it it will appear as an icon in notification area on the panel.
I created a shortcut for the F3 key .

You might want to look over "dialog" (v 1.3-20190808) ... It is a VERY flexible, text-based tool that adds dialog features to shell scripts. The package comes with a decent collection of examples (~80 or so) of what can be done with it.
What is interesting is the fact that it provides many non-gui features that are on par, imho, with "yad" and exceed those provided by "zenity" which both are GUI-/GTK-based. Just a constructive thought ...
