NAME¶
exmenen, exmendis - enable or disable extra menus for GNOME, KDE and other XDG
menu-spec compliant desktops
SYNOPSIS¶
exmenen (--system | --local) [ module ]
exmendis (--system | --local) [ module ]
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
exmenen and
exmendis
commands.
exmenen is a script that enables the specified extra applications menu on
either a system, or per-user basis. It does this by creating symlinks within
/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ (system wide), or
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged/ (per-user). If the
XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is unset, its default is taken to be
${HOME}/.config .
Likewise,
exmendis disables an extra applications menu by removing those
symlinks. It is not an error to enable a menu which is already enabled, or to
disable one which is already disabled.
EXAMPLES¶
exmendis --system electronics
exmenen --system electronics
Disables the system wide extra
electronics menu, enables it for the
current user.
