Site News :: DSL v4.2



Not likely that the very old fluxbox and jwm are going to behave the same. There is a shortcut key for shading in jwmrc-keys. You can control what key sequence to use. Edit .jwmrc-keys. Every laptop has a keyboard.
OK, I can live with using a keystroke, but I was pointing out the JWM in DSL doesn't seem to be behaving as described on the joewing site - i.e. "double-click on the toitle bar shades the window" - in DSL double-click miximizes/restores the window. Is there a reason for this dofference in behaviour - i.e. has the doub;e-click been reassigned somehow & is it a user assignable item like the control-<key> sequences. I can't find a reference to this functionality in any JWM documentation.
I've been using many versions of DSL over the years with Fluxbox as my WM. I must say that 4.2 with JWM has changed my thinking. Lower resource usage with good looks! Thank's Robert and John for a great distro. Happy holidays to you and yours!

Wish Granted!

I have compiled in double-click on title bar to shade/unshade window for jwm.

It will appear in the next release candidate for DSL v4.3

Also it isn't very helpful on laptops with no scroll whel when the shading is probably most useful due to the small amount of screen real-estate.

If you use the default keybindings, alt-F2 will give you a window control menu so you can shade until 4.3 comes out. I have my laptop's jwmrc* files set up so that I don't ever have to touch my pointer or mouse pad. But I rarely shade (and only do it because minimizing requires restoring before an app can be toggled again through alt-tab).
