<h1>Menu list</h1>
|
||||
<p>Different menus are available within Window Maker:</p>
|
||||
<ul class="simple">
|
||||
<li><p>The root window menu or applications menu</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>The window list menu</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>The workspace menu</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>The application icon menu</p></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>Menus provide a list of applications or commands for execution. They can be
|
||||
used to launch applications, to get information, to configure the workspace...</p>
|
||||
<p>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 <em>window list menu</em> 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.</p>
|
||||
<p>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 <em>Enter</em>
|
||||
key executes the selected item. The <em>Escape</em> key closes the menu or stops menu
|
||||
traversal.</p>
|
||||
<p>Menus can be forced to remain open on the workspace by left-clicking the
|
||||
titlebar. This creates a <em>close</em> button on the titlebar.</p>
|
||||

||||
<div class="section" id="root-window-menu">

<h1>Root window menu</h1>
|
||||
<div class="borderless figure">

||||
<img alt="Root window menu (applications menu)" src="images/menu_applications.png">
|
||||
<p class="caption">Root window menu (applications menu)</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p>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...).</p>
|
||||
<p>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.</p>

<h1>Window list menu</h1>

|
||||
<p class="caption">Window list menu</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p>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 shortcut to open the window list menu.</p>
|
||||
<p>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.</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<div class="section" id="workspaces-menu">
|
||||
<h1>Workspaces menu</h1>
|
||||
<div class="borderless figure">
|
||||
<img alt="Workspaces menu" src="images/menu_workspaces.png">
|
||||
<p class="caption">Workspaces menu</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p>The workspaces menu is part of the root menu (applications menu). This item
|
||||
has three options: <em>new</em>, <em>destroy last</em> and <em>last used</em>.</p>
|
||||
<p>The first option creates a new workspace and automatically switches you to it.</p>
|
||||
<p>The second option destroys the last workspace as soon as there are no windows
|
||||
opened in it.</p>
|
||||
<p>The third option switches to last visited workspace.</p>
|
||||
<p>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.</p>
|
||||
<p>Clicking a workspace entry switches from the current workspace to the selected
|
||||
workspace.</p>
|
||||
<p>To change the name of a workspace, first "stick" the menu by left-clicking the
|
||||
menu titlebar. Then <em>Ctrl + click</em> the menu item to make it editable and type
|
||||
in the new name. Hitting <em>Return</em> saves the new name, hitting <em>Escape</em> cancels
|
||||
the operation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Key bindings allow movement from one workspace to another. Usually <em>Meta +
|
||||
(number)</em>. The <em>Meta</em> key is normally the "<em>Alt</em>" key, while <em>(number)</em>
|
||||
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, <em>Meta + 2</em> switches to workspace 2.</p>
|
||||
<p>These key bindings can be set (or changed) from the keyboard shortcut dialog in
|
||||
WPrefs.app.</p>

|

</div>
|
||||
<p>Clicking an icon in the dock with the right mouse button brings a menu for
|
||||
modifying that icon's application. There are several options available in the
|
||||
application icon menu for docked applications. Docked, but not running
|
||||
applications will not have all options available - they will appear "greyed
|
||||
out" in the menu.</p>
|
||||
<ol class="arabic simple">
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>First option is a global Dock submenu, which have three items:</p>
|
||||
<ol class="arabic simple">
|
||||
<li><p><em>Normal</em> will not change dock behaviour - it can be covered by windows,
|
||||
while clicking on any docked items will bring it up.</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p><em>Auto raise & lower</em> is similar for the first options, although you don't
|
||||
have to click on dock - it's enough to hover mouse pointer on visible
|
||||
part of dock or it's items.</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p><em>Keep on top</em> means that the dock will always be on "top" of opened
|
||||
windows.</p></li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li><p><em>Add a drawer</em> will add special dockapp which can be used for aggregating
|
||||
applications. See <a class="reference external" href="dock.html">Dock</a> for more details about drawers.</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>"Launch" opens the application without double-clicking the icon.</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>"Bring here" unhides the application in the current workspace.</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>"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.)</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>"Settings" allows the modification of application path and arguments, the
|
||||
command line, and the icon used.</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>"Kill" closes the application immediately and should only be used if
|
||||
absolutely necessary.</p></li>
