dmenu takes 2 seconds to open on my computer. It's horrible. But I use it too little to worry about changing it.

My question is: how do you open ssh from dmenu? I can't open terminal applications from dmenu, it should open a terminal automatically, I guess, but it doesn't do anything. Is that controlled by some other Linux configuration? I'm on Ubuntu with i3.

You'd need either write a special dmenu script to run it in an xterm, or add a simple script to your path:

#!/bin/sh

exec xterm -e ssh user@hostname
