fluxbox-menu steals focusForum: Other Help Topics Topic: fluxbox-menu steals focus started by: Patrick Posted by Patrick on Nov. 27 2004,12:00
Whenever i open a fluxbox-menu (right click in the desktop) but then deside that i want to do something else i have to close the menu again by clicking somewhere on the desktop (menu disappears).I usually forget to close the menu and just open up something else (like emelfm) BUT THEN the fluxmenu stays on top of the screen (in stead of that it auto-senses that it is no longer necessary and hide itself) To close it up again i have to minimize my app en click on the desktop. Is there a setting somewhere in fluxbox that makes it auto-hide the menu when it is "left open"? Posted by mikshaw on Nov. 27 2004,16:43
Right-click on the titlebar of the menu.

doesn't do a thing! (works well in the titlebar of applications though)

Sorry...it may be a new thing. I'm using 0.9.10, and that was the easiest thing I tried to get rid of the menu. I very seldom open my fluxbox menu (hotkeys are my friend), so I'd never run into your bug until I tried to recreate it.What also worked.... Right-click twice on the titlebar of your application. Click on the menu titlebar to give it focus, and then press Esc. Posted by Patrick on Nov. 28 2004,08:41
I unfortunuatly have fluxbox 099 (dsl), but love to try your version... (more options i think)did you compile it yourself? (any trouble in doing that?) Posted by mikshaw on Nov. 28 2004,15:29
I use 0.9.10 on my non-DSL workstation....I just haven't gotten around to updating the extension yet (see your other thread).Another thing that seems to work: bind "RootMenu" to a key. Press that key and then press Esc. Works the same as that Click & Esc one. |
