[Fluxbox-users] menu search

[gmaxfl]

Hi,

is it possible to make a search in fluxbox menus, not binding the
pattern to the start of line?
For example, it's difficult to find skype in windows menu, because skype
puts some additional arbitrary information to it's windows title.

It would be very useful, if I can search the pattern in the middle of
the strings, or at least be able to use
glob characters (*,^) or regexp patterns (.+).

Is it possible?

regards,
Maxim Gonchar

only by implementing regexp search or kind of levenshtein distance on
the whole string. feel welcome to provide a patch :)
