Search Results for 'keyboard shortcuts'

[Member PPC]

Hi, all.

Unless a bug or any kind of problem is found, this version should be the final one:

Changes:
– small fixes
– all the text is in variables, in the start of the script, (temporary) localization info was added, to the start of the script
– “Send application icon to desktop” button, using app-select to choose the app that will be placed in the desktop (for zzz desktops only, no check is done)
– Added the existing GUI script to manage keyboard shortcuts. Now I think all IceWM config files can be managed from this script.

Please do text, I may have messed up some text, when I moved it all to variables.

Request: English native speakers, please read the variables in the start of the script and suggest better texts…

Edit: while testing on my very small screen netbook I noticed the lower part of the window is off screen, and I have to drag the window up, so I can see the options that are on the bottom of the window- if someone can create a better looking GUI for all these scripts and functions (instead of a simple yad window) , please, do help out!

1. icewm-manager-gui-v5.zip

Most IceWM settings can be changed from the menu or by right clicking the clock or the squares that present system information. But changing the clock that way does not “stick”, and the menu is too complex for ordinary users to understand, and there are too many options, most, really hard to understand.

So I want to provide an easy GUI way to configure the system, all from a prefoverride file, that over rides the default settings.

For now, I have a prefoverride config file that is heavilly commented and manages the most usual toolbar, clock and system info square options. Most values are easy to change, since they are “1” for “on” and “0” for “Off”. And there are only some dozen lines, not over a thousand (like the “preferences” file has).

So, using your File Manager, go to ~/.icewm and make sure that a file called prefoverride exists there (if it does not exist, create it).

Then you can paste the values you like, from the example file below.

HOW TO:
– Read the comments (the lines starting with #, to know what each option does)
– Copy the values to your prefoverride text file. Save the file. Restart IceWM, to see the change.
– Do you want to get back to the default settings? Rename or delete the prefoverride file and Restart IceWM

The GUI I’m trying to create will manage only the features listed in this config file. I’m open to suggestions that are easy to implement.

EDIT: the GUI will NOT manage Workspace options- Robin already took care of that – there’s a great GUI, over at the antiX-23 thread, that manages the numbers and names of workspaces on IceWM!!!

#### This file overides options from the default Icewm Window Manager theme
#### This file should be placed in ~/.icewm/
#### ANY CHANGE YOU DO THE THIS CONFIG FILE REQUIRES YOU TO RESTART ICEWM: To enable any setting, change the value indicated after the equal sign (usually, you have two options: 1=on; 0=off and restart icewm (you can do that instantly by clicking (it's the same if you use a right click or a left click) the menu icon and then choose the last option ("exit" and then it's submenu - the right facinf arrow > select "Restart Icewm" OR, at the terminal run the command: "icewm --restart" (without quoation marks, of course)
#
#### IMPORTANT NOTE: in each line, everything after a "#" sign is ignored and considered just a comment (usually comments are there to show you the possible options or what they mean)

### How windows are displayed in the taskbar:
#  Group applications with the same class name under a single task button: 0=off, 1=digits showing how many grouped windows, 2=dots, 3=both.
TaskBarTaskGrouping=0 # [0-3]
#  Show only icons of running windows on the toolbar (hide the title) - a larger number make the space that each window uses on the toolbar smaller. This setting is the only one that, to furfil it's end (when grouping windows of the same kind and showing, next to the icon, the number of windows, may require you to experiment with several possible values:
TaskbarButtonWidthDivisor=18 #usually this setting is commented out (not used); to display just the icon (and not the title) default to "30"
#  Taskbar justify left, right or center
TaskBarJustify="center"

### Clock Settings:
#  Clock: just show Hours:Minutes (to show Hours in am/pm format use: the value "%l:%M", for 24H use "%H:%M" (you can add ":%S" at the end to also see seconds), to add day of the mont*month: %d/%m
TimeFormat=%H:%M 
#  Clock font (in case it's not using the next preference: "TaskBarClockLeds=1"
ClockFontName=”-*-monospace-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*”
ClockFontNameXft=”monospace:size=12:bold”
#  Task bar clock/battery monitor uses nice pixmap LCD display (but then it doesn't display correctly in many languages anymore, e.g., for Japanese and Korean it works only when a real font is used and not the LCD pixmaps
TaskBarClockLeds=0 # 0/1

### Information gadgets about system resources (on the right, next to the clock)
#  Show CPU status on task bar
TaskBarShowCPUStatus=1
#  Show memory usage status on task bar
TaskBarShowMEMStatus=0 # 0/1
#  Show network status on task bar
TaskBarShowNetStatus=1 # 0/1
#  Show battery status on task bar
TaskBarShowAPMStatus=0 # 0/1

### Workspaces/virtual Desktops:
#  To have multiple workspaces - just add a comma and it's name, inside quotation marks, for each extra workspace you want. Note: for the second workspace, you only need a comma, it will automaticly be named "2"
#  To have only one workspace the line below should be: WorkspaceNames=" 1 "
#  Inside the quotation marks, insert the name for each workspace, otherwise they will be numbered (the first one is " 1 ", etc)
WorkspaceNames=" "
#  Show workspace indicator on the task bar
TaskBarShowWorkspaces=1 # 0/1

### Assorted taskbar settings (auto-hide, double height, move to the top of the screen)
#  Autohide taskbar
TaskBarAutoHide=0 # 0/1
#  Taskbar at the top of the screen (instead of in the bottom)- PLEASE NOTE: FOR THIS TO BE PROPERLY ENABLE LOG OFF AND BACK ON:
TaskBarAtTop=0
# Taskbar with double height, useful to use taskbar as a "dock" to with many icons to quick-launch applications
TaskBarDoubleHeight=0 # 0/1

### Title bar:
#  Show app's icon on it's window's title bar:
ShowMenuButtonIcon=1 # 0/1

#### KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS:
#  Tile windows with the Windows key + arrow keys shortcuts
KeyWinTileLeft=Super+Left
KeyWinTileRight=Super+Right
KeyWinTileTop=Super+Up
KeyWinTileBottom=Super+Down

###How to manage windows:
#  Make new windows appear right below and to the right of the previous window (if CenterLarge=1 then this applies only to small windows, like galculator, etc)
SmartPlacement=0 # 0/1
# Make new large windows appear always in the center:
CenterLarge=1 # 0/1
# Show indication of position and window size, when dragging a window
ShowMoveSizeStatus=0 # 0/1

#  Pass focusing click on client area to client???
#PassFirstClickToClient=0 # 0/1

### Stuff not handled in this config file:
# Taskbar height it 's the height of "linux.xpm" (or the -xpm file used as Menu icon) in the theme that's being used
# Titlebar height it's the field "TitleBarHeight" in theme that's being used. It can be set here, but doing that may mess up the way the tile bar looks...

Since I tend to worry about User eXperience, maybe antiX-23 could implement some small changes:
-I’ve been using antiX for years, mostly icewm, and some fluxbox. One thing that annoyed me a tiny bit is the fact that windows that are not maximized tend to pop up in random places. A few days ago I tried to get that fixed, and, as it happens so many times, sharing something here in the forum lead to enlightment. It’s easy, making IceWM always center large windows. In ~/.icewm/preferences, simply include the line:

#Always open Large windows on the center of the screen, not in some random place:
CenterLarge=1

That fixes it for me. Also, if you want to stop small windows (like, for example, galculator) opening in some random place:

#Place small windows below, and to the right, of the previous window title bar:
SmartPlacement=0

Also, another tiny suggestion, that costs 0 system resources:
Create, by default, the ~/.icewm/themes folder – it’s a tiny help, when users want to use themes they downloaded from somewhere, it saves them the trouble of finding out that the required folder does not exist by default, and having to create it (I know, I know, I want to spoil our users).

Edit: IceWM’s tile features are great. I think they should have their own short-cut keys available by default, so maybe include a ~/.icewm/prefoverride file with this contents:

#### KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS TO TILE WINDOWS USING ICEWM'S TILING FEATURES:
#  Tile windows with the Windows key + arrow keys shortcuts
KeyWinTileLeft=Super+Left
KeyWinTileRight=Super+Right
KeyWinTileTop=Super+Up
KeyWinTileBottom=Super+Down

Edit2: Now I recall another IceWM related proposal: showing coordinates while dragging a window can be useful, but I bet most people just find it annoying, most of the time, so, set by default, in the preferences file:
ShowMoveSizeStatus=0 # 0/1
PS: I’m aware that, for extermely picky users, it’s nice, having the exact coordinates of the window, so they can select, with pixel point precision, where the windows are.

All this proposed changes do make IceWM act in a more “mainstream” way (whatever that may mean, it’s different things for different people), out of the box, and also allow easier access to the tilling features

I’m still trying to find time to create a simple GUI to manage these basic IceWM settings, since using the menu is far from being intuitive.

I love this script. To note – I found that the one linked in #37228 works, but the latest in #37246 didn’t have the help aspects as far as I could tell.
I used to use wmctrl and xdotool with various options and keyboard shortcuts to do this, but was able to use it with a browser window with a particular string of text in the address bar. i.e. I only used it for a particular website. Shortcut keys toggled this on or off. Unfortunately I’ve lost the code and don’t have the brain power any more to reconstruct, so finding this forum thread is a gift.

Is there anyway of simply adapting this script to remember a particular website?

Also I thought this script might have been included in antix22.

New version 1.09 out, works on antiX 17, 19, 21/22 as well as on antiX 23.

What is new?

* All issues described in the thread about previous 1.08 and 1.08a version are patched in the 1.09 Version, no need to apply these hotfixes any longer.

* Most recently updated localisations from Transifex included.

* New or improved features:
(as per request by PPC) –Rahmen or -r command line option (translation to –border still missing, sorry) allows to run the script in legacy design mode, showing decorated window borders for users preferring this design. (The functionality for handling windows is identical to the default modern borderless aCSTV look, in which you can also easily move, resize or close all the aCSTV windows by using either right click or by the respective default keyboard shortcuts present in antiX, e.g. „Alt-F7” (then move mouse), „Alt-F8 →” (then move mouse), „Alt-F8 ←” (then move mouse), „Alt-F8 ↑” (then move mouse), „Alt-F8 ↓” (then move mouse), „Alt-F9”, „Alt-F11”, „Alt-F4” etc.) without having the buttons in upper window border present in all windows.

Scene Photo functionallity was improved, so the preview window will show the shot taken not hidden behind the running tv-screen any longer, but in a suitably downsized window right of it (or in full screen mode above it). To see the shot preview in true size, right click in it and select „file → reset.” When using the „s” shortcut key instead of the „Scene Photo” button from „remote control” (aCSTV main-)window, no feh preview window will be displayed.

* Fixed the issue with not always properly displayed symbol on button for stations list switching (Many thanks Marcelo for testing!)

[Member Robin]

Here all shortcuts work fine in any antiX, 17, 19, 21, 22 and 23. Never have seen failing them in any application.

Please check in antiX control center whether your keyboard layout matches your keyboard, and check out other keyboard layouts. Maybe the modifier buttons are not mapped properly for your keyboard.

(Btw, some applications define their private shortcuts, e.g. leafpad text editor makes use of ctrl+shift+z instead of ctrl+y to repeat last action.)

[Member sybok]

Hi,
1) As Brian suggested, is there some more information in logs, e.g. ‘~/.desktop-session/log[.old]’ would be my first try.
2) Please configure some keyboard shortcuts (e.g. to open terminal etc.) – do they work well?

The computer seems a bit older, judging from the CPU:
3) How about installing ‘xserver-xorg-legacy’ if not installed (because someone proposed it somewhere else in the forum…)?
4) Would you care for trying an older kernel, e.g. 4.19?

5) Do minimal versions of desktops reproduce the same error?

‘links2’ seems to be just a dead grey window.

Hit the “g” button on your keyboard to type in a url and go somewhere. The F1 button will give you a list of keyboard shortcuts. Escape key will bring up a menu at the top. links2 is very quick and minimal, works great on nearly any site that doesn’t require a lot of complicated javascript just to see the text of the page.

If you like it, type in “xlinks2” on the command line in antiX – it’s a special antiX command to bring up links2 in graphical mode, so that it will display pictures from the websites. It’s very cool, something I use quite often. If you have any questions leave me a response, as I have written some tutorials on using links2/xlinks2 and on theming it and configuring it to use some of its advanced features. I can either answer short questions here or give you links to my longer how-to threads.

You could try to use MPV as an alternative, it works. You can do (almost) everything in MPV that you can do in VLC, but mainly through keyboard shortcuts, config files, and command flags. VLC is better at playing .mov files from iphones, MPV struggles with those. You can convert to .mp4 using ffmpeg. Still, it would be nice to have VLC back.

@PPC ” My suggestion? Include on the prefoverride file, add keyboard shortcuts (windows key + up/down/left/right) out of the box, for tiling windows, maybe? They seem to be the de facto standard (meaning: what Windowz users have)”

+1 for me.

an option on/off to hide window title in the taskbar too.

I did a long time ago, when I was modifying one of the default Window Managers available in antiX- I think it was Icewm. I remember I did that reducing the width of the title of the windows in the taskbar, to be the same as the icon’s size. I probably used the setting recommended in that link:

Set “TaskbarButtonWidthDivisor=25” in ~/.icewm/preferences

But yeah, probably a GUI for that would be nice.

I wonder if it’s because of antiX that IceWM has such a rapid development cicle- for such a light WM, it’s stacking up features, after features, after features. Us antiX users aren’t missing a lot now.

IceWM with a nice theme is can be light, nice looking and full of nice features.

No problem Andy! My dad is 85 and is a LinuxMint user so you’re young by comparison.
The main reason I use Openbox is that I have it configured with vim-like keyboard shortcuts. In its bare state it needs some sort of launcher such as rofi & probably a panel to make it more usable.
Did some experimenting with a live usb on computer and in a virtual machine and there was an 81MB difference in their ram usage. That explains the Youtuber unbelievable results.

Yes – I think so – his figures and ours would suggest this even though I have DE. I never use VMs as my wife and I are using this old laptop for everyday use: web mail, banking, utilities, Gimp, LO Writer etc etc. I like something fast and snappy but both of us need 100% stability – AntiX-22 Full LXDE delivers in full 🙂 Ironically LXDE is NOT fully supported and NEVER will be. So I am slightly shackled with my tweaks and keyboard shortcuts etc – but Ah; the speed… 🙂 My other better spec laptop, an old Dell E6420 i7 8G ZorinOS has not been used since installing AntiX-22 Full LXDE.

No clue why it happens on my system, but not on the one the guy in the vid uses.

It does not happen on any of the computers I ever tested (some half dozen, both 64bits and 32bits, all antix 19/22 full). Never saw anyone complain about that before you…
There are 2 options – since this happens even in a live session – it may be an .iso problem (if you are running live from the same iso you installed you system from) or it may be some kind of video problem. Even in a netbook with very narrow screen, I never experienced that problem.
My suggestion? Try another “full” iso, if you can, and run it live.

Question – in the installed system, when you use the “tiling” menu, when you right click the tile bar, do you still have that problem?

Edit:
Is “anordenen” german to ” to order”/ “to arrange”? I looked for that word on-line…

If so, you are talking about, what, in english should be the “tiling” feature I mentioned above and the answer is both in one of my previous posts ( https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/icewm-moving-windows-with-keyboard-shortcuts/#post-91658 ), here in this thread, and BobC did post a even better option, without the need for wingrid, that you can add to your keys file- https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/window-tiling-window-stuck-to-top-of-screen/page/2/#post-94160 . I’m currently using my suggestion to use use the prefoverride file to set the keys to “tile” the window- but this applies only to windows that use the normal window decorations, that show the menu with the “tile” option, when you right click the title bar (I mean this won’t work for Chrome/Chromium, etc). Please don’t skim posts and ask questions that have already been answered on this very thread!
If not, please elaborate what you mean…
