Re: Blackbox with 1 mouse button?

[Gregory J. Barlow]

So that you can actually use blackbox, I whipped up a little patch.  This
makes it possible to bring up the root menu with a click on button
1.  If the menu is visible, another click on the root window will hide the
root menu.  To get access to the workspaces menu, add the line:
[workspaces] (description here)
to your menu file.  This patch doesnt let you access the window menu, but
then of course this is a quick hack.  Hopefully this will temporarily
solve your problem.  Support for something like this would be a legitimate
feature to add in my opinion, though probably with key presses in addition
to mouse actions.  I will also post this patch to
blackbox.thelinuxcommunity.org.  Let me know how this works.
