[Fluxbox-users] RootMenu?

[Jeff Schallenberg]

New to Fluxbox, and loving it!

I have added the following line to my ~/.fluxbox/keys file:

Mod1 Mod4 :RootMenu

But it doesn't seem to work :-(

I would simply like to be able to raise the RootMenu without having to
find a scrap of Desktop and right-click on it!

Anybody able to do this?

I think you need an actual key listed an not *just* modifiers.

I successfully tried it with the keycode for the super key, which I
found to be 115 with xev.
Mod1 115 :RootMenu

You'll probably want to use a toggle, so that you can hide the menu, too.
Mod1 115 :ToggleCmd {RootMenu} {HideMenus}

You may need to tell Fluxbox to reload/restart after editing the keys
file so that it picks up your configuration.

I hope this helps,

Ron

OK, got that! Thanks, Ron!

Nice to see that this list caters to newbies!
