Now that I'm totally out of Ubuntu and totally in for Manjaro i3, I've found that dmenu_recency is pretty good and covers all my needs.

I'm not a super fan of .desktop files as all I really need are executables on my $PATH :)

I'll have to give that one a try.
I believe it's called dmenu-frecency-git in Arch Linux.
The Github page info on it stated:

  • A dmenu-based desktop application launcher that uses a combination of frequency and recency to sort the application list.
  • It scans XDG desktop files and optionally executables from PATH.
