10 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo utility a simple graphical menu for XOrg. It read the items from
11 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Ic stdin
12 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo and print the user selection to

22 b500fe86 2018-06-07 omar.polo Print version and exit.
24 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Sh RESOURCES
26 8d9debb1 2018-06-07 omar.polo The appearance of the menu is defined through the \fBX Resource
27 8d9debb1 2018-06-07 omar.polo Database\fR.
28 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Bl -tag -width Ds
29 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.font
30 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo The font name to use. By default is set to "fixed" if compiled without
31 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo Xft(3) support, "monospace" otherwise. Without Xft(3) only bitmap font
32 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo are supported.
33 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo .It MyMenu.layout
34 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo The layout of the menu. The possible values are "horizontal" and
35 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo "vertical", with the default being "horizontal". Every other value
36 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo than "horizontal" is treated like "vertical", but this is kinda an
37 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo implementation detail and not something to be relied on, since in the
38 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo future other layout could be added as well.
39 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo .It Mymenu.prompt
40 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo A string that is rendered before the user input. Default to "$ ".
41 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.width
42 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The width of the menu. If a numeric value is given (e.g. 400) is
43 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo interpreted as pixel, if it ends with a percentage symbol `%'
44 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo (e.g. 40%) the relative percentage will be computed (relative to the
45 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo monitor width).
46 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.height
47 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The height of the menu. Like MyMenu.width if a numeric value is given
48 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo is interpreted as pixel, if it ends with a percentage symbol `%' the
49 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo relative percentage will be computed (relative to the monitor height).
50 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.x
51 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The X coordinate of the topmost left corner of the window. Much like
52 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo MyMenu.height and MyMenu.width both a pixel dimension and percentage
53 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo could be supplied. In addition to it, the special value "middle" could
54 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo be used: in that case the window will be centered on the x axes.
55 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.y
56 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The Y coordinate of the topmost left corner of the window. Like the X
57 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo coordinate a pixel dimension, percentage dimension or the special
58 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo value "middle" could be supplied.
59 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo .It MyMenu.padding
60 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo Change the padding. In the horizontal layout the padding is the space
61 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo between the rectangle of the completion and the text as well as the
62 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo space between the prompt and the first completion. In the horizontal
63 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo layout the padding is the horizontal spacing between the window edge
64 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo and the text as well as the space up and down the text within the
65 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo completion. The default value is 10.

67 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo The background of the prompt.

114 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo If, instead of a numeric value, a not-valid number that terminates
115 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo with the % sign is supplied, then the default value for that field
116 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo will be treated as a percentage. Since this is a misuse of the
117 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo resources this behavior isn't strictly considered a bug.
119 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo C-w (delete last word) does not work well with multi-byte string. The
120 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo whole UTF-8 support is still kinda naïve and should be improved.
