Obmenu

Obmenu-generator github

The program requires a lot of perl dependencies that can be compiled directly from their respective github repos.

Make sure dependencies are met, specially the ones related to gtk2; in case there are errors, launch the program with: obmenu-generator -i and check the output for pipe errors.

IMPORTANT: You will need a config.pl and a schema.pl file inside the ~/.config/obmenu-generator/ folder, changes to the obmenu configuration need to be made to the schema.pl file.

To generate a new dinamic menu with icons:

obmenu-generator -p -i

To generate a static menu with icons:

obmenu-generator -s -i

Openbox

Install the following Openbox add-ons:

1. Tint2

sudo apt-get install tint2

Keyboard Hotkeys

Hotkeys that trigger actions such as the execution of a program can be added or modified on the rc.xml file at ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

To add a new keybind, modify your rc.xml, and inside the <keyboard> tag add something like:

<!-- Custom bind -->
 <keybind key="Key combo Ex: C-A-t">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>terminator</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

The key mapping is:

Value	Key
S	Shift Key
C	Control Key
A	Alt Key
W	Super Key
M	Meta Key
H	Hyper Key

Some samples:

   <!-- Personal Keybinds-->
    <keybind key="C-A-t">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>terminator</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="C-A-g">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>google-chrome</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="C-A-f">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>xdg-open http://</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="C-A-m">
      <action name="Execute">
