2020-09-20 Having all PDFs just a few keystrokes away

I tend to have a lot of PDF files on my computer: books, science papers, presentations… I often need to quickly open one of them: check a theoretical detail in a book related to what I’m doing or a reference in a paper I’m reading. With the help of dmenu and a short shellscript, I have found a way to make this process as quick and unintrusive as possible.
