DESCRIPTION¶
wmii9menu is
wmii's standard clickable menu program. It's used
extensively by
wmii and related programs to display clickable menus,
namely for window titlebars and bar items. The name, along with the code,
derives from the 9menu program, which in turn derives its name from Plan 9's
style of clickable menus.
ARGUMENTS¶
- -a
- The address at which to connect to wmii.
- -i <initial>
-
If <initial> is listed among the other items
on the command line, it is selected at startup, and the menu is positioned so
that the mouse pointer is centered on said item.

USAGE¶
wmii9menu is invoked with a list of arguments, each of which is displayed
as a menu item. The first
: in the item name, and any text following
it, is stripped. The menu is opened such that the mouse pointer is centered on
the selected item. If a mouse button is depressed when the menu opens, then
releasing it will confirm the selection. Otherwise, a mouse press will do the
same. When a selection is made,
wmii9menu prints the result. If the
selected item initially contained a
:, the text following it is
printed. Otherwise, the item text itself is printed.
ENVIRONMENT¶
- $WMII_ADDRESS
- The address at which to connect to wmii.
- $NAMESPACE
- The namespace directory to use if no address is provided.
