10 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo utility a simple graphical menu for XOrg. It read the items from

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

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.
66 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo .It MyMenu.border.size
67 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo A list of number separated by spaces to specify the border of the
68 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo window. The field is parsed like some CSS properties (i.e. padding),
69 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo that is: if only one value is provided then it'll be used for all
70 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo borders; if two value are given than the first will be used for the
71 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo top and bottom border and the former for the left and right border;
72 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo with three value the first is used for the top border, the second for
73 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo the left and right border and the third for the bottom border. If four
74 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo value are given, they'll be applied to the respective border
75 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo clockwise. Other values will be ignored. The default value is 0.
76 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo .It MyMenu.border.color
77 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo A list of colors for the borders. This field is parsed like the
78 500ca6c1 2018-07-08 omar.polo MyMenu.border.size. The default value is black.

123 6254fed8 2018-07-06 omar.polo Toggle the ``first selected'' style. Sometimes, especially with the -a
124 6254fed8 2018-07-06 omar.polo option, could be handy to disable that behaviour. Let's say that
125 6254fed8 2018-07-06 omar.polo you've typed ``fire'' and the first completion is ``firefox'' but you
126 6254fed8 2018-07-06 omar.polo really want to choose ``fire''. While you can type some spaces, this
127 6254fed8 2018-07-06 omar.polo keybinding is a more elegant way to change, at runtime, the behaviour
128 6254fed8 2018-07-06 omar.polo of the first completion.

134 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo If, instead of a numeric value, a not-valid number that terminates
135 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo with the % sign is supplied, then the default value for that field
136 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo will be treated as a percentage. Since this is a misuse of the
137 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo resources this behavior isn't strictly considered a bug.
139 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo C-w (delete last word) does not work well with multi-byte string. The
140 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo whole UTF-8 support is still kinda naïve and should be improved.
