I'm not the maintainer of wmii anymore. But I still maintain dmenu [http://xtools.suckless.org] (which has been called wmiimenu in your wmii version). Both feature requests can be achieved with a wrapper script. > - In the program menu (MOD-p), it would be nice to have the possibility to > invoke console programs (like top) in an xterm (xterm -e), for example > by pressing MOD-return instead of just return. Just define MOD-x calling xdmenu.sh: #!/bin/sh xterm -e "`lsx /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin | dmenu -b`" > - Additionally it would be nice to have an additional menu with hosts to > ssh into (like ion has), since at work, I think 95% of my xterms start > with "ssh <XXX>". :-) An ssh menu would save some typing, and could > for example automatically set the xterm window title to the hostname. Just define MOD-Shift-s calling sshdmenu.sh: #!/bin/sh myhosts() { cat <<END host1 host2 156.78.99.54 host6 foobar.com END } xterm -e "ssh `myhosts | dmenu -b`" Regards, -- Anselm R.
