Menu list

- -

Different menus are available within Window Maker:

- - - -

Menus provide a list of applications or commands for execution. They -can be used to launch applications, to get information, to configure -the workspace...
-

- -

Menus are opened by right-clicking either in the "blank" area of the -workspace or in a window's titlebar or in docked icons. The window -list menu is the only one opened with the middle mouse button. -With a two-button mouse, pressing both buttons at once usually does the -trick. A number of keyboard shortcuts are provided. These shortcuts are -indicated by the modifier key + letter shown to the right of a menu -item.

- -

The keyboard can be used to open and move through some of the menus. -For instance, the root menu can be opened using F12 (default setting). -The Up and Down arrow keys can then be used to navigate through the -menu or the Left and Right arrow keys to jump between parent menus and -submenus. Hitting the Enter key executes the selected item. -the Escape key closes the menu or stops menu traversal.

- -

Menus can be forced to remain open on the workspace by left-clicking -the titlebar. This creates a close button on the titlebar.

- -

Root window menu

- -
Root window menu (applications menu)
- -
- -The root window menu or applications menu is opened by right-clicking -on an empty area of the workspace or by hitting the pre-defined -keyboard shortcut (default is F12). This menu launches applications, -allows for the customization of the workspace (backgrounds, themes...), -and the management of other workspace characteristics using standard X -utilities (xprop, xfontsel, xcmap...). -

The menu content is totally configurable, either using WPrefs.app or -by editing the plain text menu file. Instructions on how to configure -one or the other can be found in the WindowMaker directory of the -distribution. To use WPrefs.app, menus must be in property list format -(plmenu). A script is available to convert plain text menus to property -list menus and it's called wm-oldmenu2new.

Window list menu

- -
Window list menu
- -
- -Middle-clicking an empty area of the workspace opens the window list -menu. With a two-button mouse, clicking both buttons at once usually -gives the same result. F11 is the default keyboard shorcut to open the -window list menu. -

This menu lists all windows - whether active or inactive - in every -workspace. The workspace containing each window is indicated at the -right of the window name. The current focused window is marked by a -diamond sign to the left of the window's name. Clicking any window in -the list focuses and raises the corresponding window and moves you to -the workspace where it's located.

- -

Workspaces menu

- -
Workspaces menu
- -
- -
- -The workspaces menu is part of the root menu (applications menu). -This item has two options: new and destroy last. -

The first option creates a new workspace and automatically switches -you to it.

- -

The second option destroys the last workspace as soon as there are -no windows opened in it.

- -

Each workspace has a corresponding item in this menu. The active -workspace is indicated by a diamond to the left of the workspace name -or number.

- -

Clicking a workspace entry switches from the current workspace to -the selected workspace.

- -

To change the name of a workspace, first "stick" the menu by -left-clicking the menu titlebar. Then Ctrl + click the menu -item to make it editable and type in the new name. Hitting Return -saves the new name, hitting Escape cancels the operation.

- -

Key bindings allow movement from one workspace to another. Usually Meta -+ (number). The Meta key -is normally the "Alt" key, -while (number) represents a number -key that corresponds to the workspace number. For instance 1 can be -the default workspace (workspace 1), 2 the second workspace and so on. -Thus, -Meta + 2 switches to workspace -2.

- -

These key bindings can be set (or changed) from the keyboard -shortcut dialog in -WPrefs.app.

- -

Application icon menu

- -
Icon application menu
- -
- -
- -Clicking an icon in the dock with the right mouse button brings a -menu for modifying that icon's application. There are six options -available in the application icon menu for docked applications. (Some -applications will not have all six  options available.  If an -option is not available, it will appear "greyed out" in the menu.)
- -
    - -
  1. -

    Clicking "Keep on top" places a check-mark beside that option, -which means that the icon will always be on "top" of -opened windows. If "Keep on top" is unchecked, windows will be allowed -to cover the icons in the dock. Selecting "Keep on top" for one icon -automatically affects all of the items in the dock. You cannot keep -just one docked icon on top of windows - it's all or nothing, one way -or the other.
    -

    -
  2. -
  3. -

    "Launch" opens the application without double-clicking the icon.

    -
  4. -
  5. -

    "Bring here" unhides the application in the current workspace.

    -
  6. -
  7. -

    "Hide" hides the application or unhides it if already hidden. -Unhiding opens the application in the workspace where it is located. -(This option may not work if the application has it's own hiding menu -option.)

    -
  8. -
  9. -

    "Settings" allows the modification of application path and -arguments, the command line, and the icon used.

    -
  10. -
  11. -

    "Kill" closes the application immediately and should only be -used if absolutely necessary.
