By default key binding for Exec Dialog is Alt+F12,
and an entry "Execute ..." located on main Workspace Menu above terminal item as "Exec" dialog.
This is an input form for executing one-shot commands without terminal. It has options to run
command in terminal ($[infostore.terminal]
), and to remain open after executing
commands for subsequent commands. It has it's own command history which can be turned back
with cursor up and down keys. Escape key
closes dialog, enter executes, Ctrl+Enter executes in default
terminal application.
As an example, this dialog can be used if on the current page or workspace terminal application is not present, and only some simple command is needed to be quickly executed.
Key Bindings:
Escape: Quits Exec dialog
Return: Performs an action like if is pressed.
Ctrl+Return: Performs an action like if is pressed, and Execute in terminal checkbox is checked.
Shift+Return: Performs an action like if is pressed, and Leave this dialog open checkbox is checked.
Ctrl+Shift+Return: Performs an action like if is pressed, Execute in terminal and Leave this dialog open checkboxes are both checked.
Up/Down: Brings back and forth command history in text dialog box
Sun Help and F1: Displays this help text.
If installed, NsCDE can use rofi(1) command and application launcher from the
keybinding Alt+F12 instead of built in Exec Dialog. Workspace
Menu item "Execute ..." remains the same, only keybinding will call rofi(1)
instead of built-in simple Exec dialog. For this to work, InfoStore variable
nscde_use_rofi
must be set to "1" in the $FVWM_USERDIR/NsCDE.conf
.
Rofi is integrated with NsCDE color theme and will be set up on the first use, which lasts 3 seconds
initially and after changing color theme with Color Style Manager.
