7 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Sh DESCRIPTION
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
13 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Ic stdout
14 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo on exit.
15 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Sh RESOURCES
17 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo Most of the appearance of the menu is defined through the \fBX
18 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo Resource Database\fR.
20 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo Application specific resources:
21 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Bl -tag -width Ds
22 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.font
23 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo The font name to use. By default is set to "fixed" if compiled without
24 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo Xft(3) support, "monospace" otherwise. Without Xft(3) only bitmap font
25 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo are supported.
26 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo .It MyMenu.layout
27 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo The layout of the menu. The possible values are "horizontal" and
28 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo "vertical", with the default being "horizontal". Every other value
29 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo than "horizontal" is treated like "vertical", but this is kinda an
30 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo implementation detail and not something to be relied on, since in the
31 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo future other layout could be added as well.
32 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo .It Mymenu.prompt
33 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo A string that is rendered before the user input. Default to "$ ".
34 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.width
35 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The width of the menu. If a numeric value is given (e.g. 400) is
36 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo interpreted as pixel, if it ends with a percentage symbol `%'
37 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo (e.g. 40%) the relative percentage will be computed (relative to the
38 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo monitor width).
39 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.height
40 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The height of the menu. Like MyMenu.width if a numeric value is given
41 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo is interpreted as pixel, if it ends with a percentage symbol `%' the
42 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo relative percentage will be computed (relative to the monitor height).
43 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.x
44 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The X coordinate of the topmost left corner of the window. Much like
45 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo MyMenu.height and MyMenu.width both a pixel dimension and percentage
46 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo could be supplied. In addition to it, the special value "middle" could
47 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo be used: in that case the window will be centered on the x axes.
48 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.y
49 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The Y coordinate of the topmost left corner of the window. Like the X
50 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo coordinate a pixel dimension, percentage dimension or the special
51 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo value "middle" could be supplied.
52 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo .It MyMenu.padding
53 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo Change the padding. In the horizontal layout the padding is the space
54 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo between the rectangle of the completion and the text as well as the
55 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo space between the prompt and the first completion. In the horizontal
56 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo layout the padding is the horizontal spacing between the window edge
57 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo and the text as well as the space up and down the text within the
58 e5186d6b 2018-05-26 omar.polo completion. The default value is 10.
59 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.prompt.background
60 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo The background of the prompt.
61 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.prompt.foreground

102 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo If, instead of a numeric value, a not-valid number that terminates
103 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo with the % sign is supplied, then the default value for that field
104 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo will be treated as a percentage. Since this is a misuse of the
105 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo resources this behavior isn't strictly considered a bug.
107 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo C-w (delete last word) does not work well with multi-byte string. The
108 9e94fcbe 2018-05-22 omar.polo whole UTF-8 support is still kinda naïve and should be improved.
