Yes!...SIR! :))))))
Just a few minutes ago I installed it and...well...it seems to fit my
needs mostly,,,as far as I can see in such a short time...
One thing I really miss (hopefully only based on the lack of
experience with the configuration of fluxbox):
In IceWM I can type ALT-TAB, which pops up the application menu (so far
I can use the key file in ~/.fluxbox to acchieve the same I think) and
type the first character of the application I want to start.
If it is the only application, it starts at once.
If it is not I either can hit <RETURN>, which starts the application
or press the character/key again to choose the second/third/and so on
application with that starting character.
Or in other words: Starting applications does not involve the mouse.
In/With fluxbox I again have to dive into submenus with the mouse to
find what I want and I was urged to /click/ (oh what a shame! ;O) X-} )
on something! The last time I did /such a thing/ I was young,
unexperienced and full of dreams...now I am older and wiser and
forbid myself to use things like.....mice....or even to /CLICK/
on someting (very big winkey smileys included!)
Is it possible to mimicry that IceWM feature?
Keep hacking!
Your flux is boxing!
