Table of Contents

This module lets you create text menus. It is possible to control the menu using Inter-process messaging.

Note: With version 3.5.0, the way to open and close the menu levels has changed. In particular, if you use menu-open-* or menu-close in your menu module, you should update the module to use the new action names. A guide for this can be found here.

Basic settings

The menu module uses actions for opening and closing menu levels. For example to open level N, the action is open.N, to close the menu, the action is called close. Please read the link above to learn how to construct the full action string.

[module/menu-apps]
type = custom/menu

; If true, <label-toggle> will be to the left of the menu items (default).
; If false, it will be on the right of all the items.
expand-right = true

; "menu-LEVEL-N" has the same properties as "label-NAME" with
; the additional "exec" property
;
; Commands will be executed using "/bin/sh -c $COMMAND"

menu-0-0 = Browsers
menu-0-0-exec = #menu-apps.open.1
menu-0-1 = Multimedia
menu-0-1-exec = #menu-apps.open.2

menu-1-0 = Firefox
menu-1-0-exec = firefox
menu-1-1 = Chromium
menu-1-1-exec = chromium

menu-2-0 = Gimp
menu-2-0-exec = gimp
menu-2-1 = Scrot
menu-2-1-exec = scrot

Additional formatting

; Available tags:
;   <label-toggle> (default) - gets replaced with <label-(open|close)>
;   <menu> (default)
; If expand-right is true, the default will be "<label-toggle><menu>" and the
; other way around otherwise.
; Note that if you use <label-toggle> you must also include
; the definition for <label-open>
; format = <label-toggle><menu>

label-open = Apps
label-close = x

; Optional item separator
; Default: none
label-separator = |
