Yeah, I meant both the FF and find icons for DSL 4. What do you think about them?

curaga,

Thanks. They are going into v4.2.

So far, I have 21 new, changed, or updated icons for v4.2.

I'll spare you my full list of bindings because I don't use a mouse on my laptop or P200. You also added a redundant call for the root:1 menu (alt-f1 is default, you added ctrl-z) and windows close on alt-f4 (so the x binding is also redundant). I use different bindings for window control tasks (alt-f2 also gives the window control menu), but these are the ones in 4.1 that clobber applications:

Code Sample

<!-- DSL 4.1 -->
<Key mask="SC" key="s">shade</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="x">close</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="m">maximize</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="v">minimize</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="d">desktop</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="b">resize</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="n">move</Key>

<!-- mine -->
<Key mask="CA" key="r">restart</Key>
<Key mask="CA" key="Return">exec:aterm</Key>
<Key mask="CA" key="v">exec:aterm -T "vim" -e vi</Key>


FWIW, JWM is very mouseless-friendly with one notable exception: minimized windows get left out of the toggling in alt-tab and require a mouse to unminimize.

Since keybinding are also very much a personal preference. I have decided to factor them out via an "Include" for v4.2.

I will use as suggested and they will be in .jwmrc-keys.

This way when menu changes occur it will have less impact on one's personal choice and collection of key bindings.

I was going to recommend doing that and possibly the rest of the menu, so you basically have a series of INCLUDEs in the jwmrc and that way each part of it remains separate. Since there are going to be several jwm-specific files (mydsl, tray, keys, themes for those who add it) whether you want to factor out the menu or not, does it make sense to set up a separate .jwm directory?
i like curagas icons- i think the firefox icon (name it "Mozilla.xpm"!!!!!!!!!!) is great, but the find icon does not fit into the dsl icon set. too stylish and much too abstract. i'm quite sure there will be tons of forum-questions and mails about "find" in the jwm-menu.

keep it simple!
