: **JWM** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to have an XDG menu in JWM. The first one, |
|
|
|
auto-updates the menu, every time the menu is called. The second one, |
|
|
|
updates the menu only when the user wants to. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Dynamic Menus** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can edit your //~/.jwmrc// file and add a line that generates the |
|
|
|
applications menu on the fly, like this: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``<Include>exec: xdgmenumaker -n -i -f jwm</Include>`` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need to put that line somewhere in the //RootMenu// section of the |
|
|
|
//~/.jwmrc// file. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Restart JWM and the generated menu should appear. The menu will be |
|
|
|
automatically generated every time you access it, so it will always be |
|
|
|
up to date. But since xdgmenumaker will run every time you access the |
|
|
|
menu, the menu might not appear instantly, especially if you are using |
|
|
|
an older PC. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Static Menus** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To generate an application menu for JWM, you can run |
|
|
|
**xdgmenumaker** like this: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``$ xdgmenumaker -n -i -f jwm > ~/.jwm_xdg_menu`` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and then change your //~/.jwmrc// to include this file as a |
|
|
|
submenu. For example, add this somewhere in the //RootMenu// section: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``<Include>$HOME/.jwm_xdg_menu</Include>`` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note the use of the //$HOME// variable. JWM doesn't seem to support the |
|
|
|
//~// symbol to specify the user's home directory when including files. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can add the **xdgmenumaker** command as another item in your menu, |
|
|
|
if you want to update it, without having to run the command manually |
|
|
|
again, by adding a line like this in the //RootMenu// section of your |
|
|
|
//~/.jwmrc// file: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``<Program label="Update JWM Menu">xdgmenumaker -n -i -f jwm > ~/.jwm_xdg_menu</Program>`` |
