The menu that will be displayed when you right click on a root window is /usr/share/fluxbox/menu.ja_JP
but you can customize the
menu as you like by specifying another file.
First, open ~/.fluxbox/init
with an editor while
fluxbox isn't working and edit it like the following:
session.menuFile: /home/kourin/.fluxbox/menu.ja_JP
Next, copy /usr/share/fluxbox/menu.ja_JP (or menu)
under ~/.fluxbox/
as
% cp /usr/share/fluxbox/menu.ja_JP ~/.fluxbox/
Now you can do the following tasks while fluxbox is on. Edit the copied file with an editor. Perhaps you can see it once you actually take a look at the contents but
[exec](rxvt) {rxvt}
(rxvt) would be characters to be displayed in the menu and the following in {} is the command to be executed. So then, a line like below
[exec] (w3m-img) {Eterm --trans -e w3m-img ~/.w3m/bookmark.html}
will have "w3m-img" added to your menu.
With the current specification , fluxbox reads in ~/.fluxbox/init when starting up and saves the configuration in the memory to ~/.fluxbox/init. "refonfig" seems to only re-read ~/.fluxbox/keys. It has been rather inconvenient as you need to turn off fluxbox to edit /.fluxbox/init.
A convenient tool to configure fluxconf is being released at fluxconf. It is not included in the iso images of Kondara MNU/Linux 2.1 but is in the project's cvs tree. It is planned to be released as an errata package. For those who would like to customize fluxbox, I recommend using fluxconf.
Similar to many other window managers, fluxbox can be operated from a keyboard.
Defalut setting is shown below. Alt+Tab moves focus to next window.
Mod1 Tab :NextWindow Mod1 Shift Tab :PrevWindow Mod1 F1 :Workspace1 Mod1 F2 :Workspace2 Mod1 F3 :Workspace3 Mod1 F4 :Workspace4 Mod1 F5 :Workspace5 Mod1 F6 :Workspace6 Mod1 F7 :Workspace7 Mod1 F8 :Workspace8 Mod1 F9 :Workspace9 Mod1 F10 :Workspace10 Mod1 F11 :Workspace11 Mod1 F12 :Workspace12
Other than these, Ctrl key, cursor keys(Up, Down, Left, Right) and other character keys can be used in combinations.
Also, here is a itemized list of possible configuration setting.
Additionally, things like
Mod1 P :ExecCommand xmms -p Mod1 F :ExecCommand xmms -f None F1 :ExecCommand galeonassign keys to start a particular application. As seen in the third example, F1 key alone can start an application galeon.
To customize, edit ~/.fluxbox/keys directly, or use fluxkeys included in fluxconf.
