Hi!


How do you guys handle errors when launching user menu items, for
example? 

Like, if you select a menu item, run it, it fails, prints something to
/dev/sderr, then what do you do not to miss it? Always perform <C-o> to
check the output? Notify yourself somehow? Something else?

For now, I just try to construct menu items like this:

    git am -3 %d/%f \
        || notify-send -i dialog-error -a "ERROR" "The patch was aborted"

But maybe there's a better way? More *MC-like* way? :)


Thanks!
