XMenu is a menu utility for X.
XMenu receives a menu specification in stdin, shows a menu for the user
to select one of the options, and outputs the option selected to stdout.
XMenu can be controlled both via mouse and via keyboard. The menu is a
pop-up menu (that is, after selecting an option, the menu disappears).
NOTE:
The -w (windowed) option was removed from the master branch. It was too
buggy in tiled window managers and required more code to be maintained.
§ Files
The files are:
• ./README: This file.
• ./Makefile: The makefile.
• ./config.h: The hardcoded default configuration for XMenu.
• ./config.mk: The setup for the makefile.
• ./xmenu.1: The manual file (man page) for XMenu.
• ./xmenu.c: The source code of XMenu.
• ./xmenu.sh: A sample script illustrating how to use XMenu.
NOTE: The -w (windowed) option was removed from the master branch.
It was too buggy in tiled window managers and requires more
code to be maintained.
§ Installation
In order to build xmenu you need the Xlib header files.
First, edit ./config.mk to match your local setup.
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (xmenu is installed into the
/usr/local prefix by default). Then enter the following command to
build and install xmenu (if necessary as root).
In order to build XMenu you need the Xlib and the Xft header files.
The default configuration for XMenu is specified in the file config.h,
you can edit it, but most configuration can be changed at runtime via
X resources. Enter the following command to build XMenu. This command
creates the binary file ./xmenu.
make clean install
make
By default, XMenu is installed into the /usr/local prefix. Enter the
following command to install XMenu (if necessary as root). This command
installs the binary file ./xmenu into the ${PREFIX}/bin/ directory, and
the manual file ./xmenu.1 into ${MANPREFIX}/man1/ directory.
make install
§ Running xmenu
§ Running XMenu
xmenu receives as input a menu specification where each line is a menu
XMenu receives as input a menu specification where each line is a menu
entry. Each line can be indented with tabs to represent nested menus.
Each line is made out of a label and a command separated by any number
of tabs. Lines without labels are menu separators.
See the script ./xmenu.sh for an example of how xmenu can be used to
draw a simple menu with submenus and separators.
See the script ./xmenu.sh for an example of how XMenu can be used to
draw a simple menu with submenus and separators. The following gif
shows how the menu generated by that script looks like.
