[Fluxbox-users] A question about Workspace menu

[Eduardo García]

Hi,

I switched to fluxbox four months ago and I love it, it is lighting fast
and rock solid and I won't change it, but there is a feature I really
miss. Previously I used xfce and loved when I could see all the open
windows of all the desktops with a single middle button click. So, is
there any way to show the workspace menu unfolded like in xfce (or openbox)?

I have searched for an answer myself all this time, but didn't find any.
Also usually been told to switch to openbox, but it have some focus
problems in certain situations (among other lesser issues), so right now
is not an option for me.

Any help will be welcome.

Eduardo

try to add this to your .fluxbox/keys:

OnDesktop Mouse3 :ClientMenu

you could also add a so called "client pattern" after the "ClientMenu"
expression, read more about it in the appropriate section at

Thank you Mathias,

It worked like a charm.

Also tried to split them into desktops with something like:

[nop] (Workspace 1)
[ClientMenu] ...something...
[nop] (Workspace 2)
...

But maybe I was pushing it too far, and the current solution is good
enough for me.

All the best.

Eduardo.
