Can we fully control Flux Box / JWM with keyboard. If so how??If i remember correctly, Fluxbox has somekind of an shortcut feature, surf to fluxbox site and try to find some information about it. If you find fluxbox too difficult, then i recommend to install rox, never used it with dsl but with other distros, it's very good and easy to use.The fluxbox 0.1.14 version in DSL is almost fully controllable through the keyboard, but there are a few things, such as the root menu, that need the mouse. Fluxbox 0.9.x myDSL extensions are, to my knowledge, 100% keyboard friendly. You'll need to manually configure it by adding keybinds to the /home/dsl/.fluxbox/keys file. http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbook/en/html/c289.html [some commands listed at that link do not work with flux 0.1.14] JWM can also be keyboard-controlled, though i don't know from experience what limitations it has.I dint understand much of it. Please tell me how can i set keys for fluxbox menu and opening applications from it .
Also how will we control keyboard in JWM.As I said, the fluxbox menu in fluxbox 0.1.14 (the version in DSL) cannot be controlled with keys, which is one of only a few problems with keyboard control in that version. In flux devel versions, all you need to do is set a keybind for "rootmenu" add <modifier> <key> :RootMenu to the fluxbox keys file and navigation is controlled by arrow keys. Opening applications is done in the same file. The syntax is <modifier> <key> :ExecCommand <command> If your key combo is a single key without modifiers, use "NONE" as the modifier. An example, using Alt+a to open aterm:
Code Sample
Mod1 A ExecCommand aterm -T "this is aterm from a keybind"
I really don't know much about jwm, so i can't help there.Next Page...
