1378menuBar
1379 The exact syntax used is *almost* solidified. In the menus, DON'T try to
1380 use menuBar commands that add or remove a menuBar.
1381
1382 Note that in all of the commands, the */path/* *cannot* be omitted: use
1383 ./ to specify a menu relative to the current menu.
1384
1385 Overview of menuBar operation
1386 For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence "ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST", the syntax of
1387 "Pt" can be used for a variety of tasks:
1388
1389 At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1390 linked-list of other such menuBars.
1391
1392 The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1393 turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1394
1395 The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1396 input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1397
1398 The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1399 constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the menuBars.
1400
1401 The first step is to use the tag [menu:*name*] which creates the menuBar
1402 called *name* and allows access. You may now or menus, subMenus, and
1403 menuItems. Finally, use the tag [done] to set the menuBar access as
1404 readonly to prevent accidental corruption of the menus. To re-access the
1405 current menuBar for alterations, use the tag [menu], make the
1406 alterations and then use [done]
1407
1408
1409
1410 Commands
1411 [menu:+*name*]
1412 access the named menuBar for creation or alteration. If a new
1413 menuBar is created, it is called *name* (max of 15 chars) and the
1414 current menuBar is pushed onto the stack
1415
1416 [menu]
1417 access the current menuBar for alteration
1418
1419 [title:+*string*]
1420 set the current menuBar's title to *string*, which may contain the
1421 following format specifiers:
1422
1423 B<%n> rxvt name (as per the B<-name> command-line option)
1424 B<%v> rxvt version
1425 B<%%> literal B<%> character
1426
1427 [done]
1428 set menuBar access as readonly. End-of-file tag for [read:+*file*]
1429 operations.
1430
1431 [read:+*file*]
1432 read menu commands directly from *file* (extension ".menu" will be
1433 appended if required.) Start reading at a line with [menu] or
1434 [menu:+*name* and continuing until [done] is encountered.
1435
1436 Blank and comment lines (starting with #) are ignored. Actually,
1437 since any invalid menu commands are also ignored, almost anything
1438 could be construed as a comment line, but this may be tightened up
1439 in the future ... so don't count on it!.
1440
1441 [read:+*file*;+*name*]
1442 The same as [read:+*file*], but start reading at a line with
1443 [menu:+*name*] and continuing until [done:+*name*] or [done] is
1444 encountered.
1445
1446 [dump]
1447 dump all menuBars to the file /tmp/rxvt-PID in a format suitable for
1448 later rereading.
1449
1450 [rm:name]
1451 remove the named menuBar
1452
1453 [rm] [rm:]
1454 remove the current menuBar
1455
1456 [rm*] [rm:*]
1457 remove all menuBars
1458
1459 [swap]
1460 swap the top two menuBars
1461
1462 [prev]
1463 access the previous menuBar
1464
1465 [next]
1466 access the next menuBar
1467
1468 [show]
1469 Enable display of the menuBar
1470
1471 [hide]
1472 Disable display of the menuBar
1473
1474 [pixmap:+*name*]
1475 [pixmap:+*name*;*scaling*]
1476 (set the background pixmap globally
1477
1478 A Future implementation *may* make this local to the menubar)
1479
1480 [:+*command*:]
1481 ignore the menu readonly status and issue a *command* to or a menu
1482 or menuitem or change the ; a useful shortcut for setting the quick
1483 arrows from a menuBar.
1484
1485
1486
1487 Adding and accessing menus
1488 The following commands may also be + prefixed.
1489
1490 /+ access menuBar top level
1491
1492 ./+ access current menu level
1493
1494 ../+
1495 access parent menu (1 level up)
1496
1497 ../../
1498 access parent menu (multiple levels up)
1499
1500 */path/*menu
1501 add/access menu
1502
1503 */path/*menu/*
1504 add/access menu and clear it if it exists
1505
1506 */path/*{-}
1507 add separator
1508
1509 */path/*{item}
1510 add item as a label
1511
1512 */path/*{item} action
1513 add/alter *menuitem* with an associated *action*
1514
1515 */path/*{item}{right-text}
1516 add/alter *menuitem* with right-text as the right-justified text and
1517 as the associated *action*
1518
1519 */path/*{item}{rtext} action
1520 add/alter *menuitem* with an associated *action* and with rtext as
1521 the right-justified text.
1522
1523 Special characters in *action* must be backslash-escaped:
1524 \a \b \E \e \n \r \t \octal
1525
1526 or in control-character notation:
1527 ^@, ^A .. ^Z .. ^_, ^?
1528
1529 To send a string starting with a NUL (^@) character to the program,
1530 start *action* with a pair of NUL characters (^@^@), the first of which
1531 will be stripped off and the balance directed to the program. Otherwise
1532 if *action* begins with NUL followed by non-+NUL characters, the leading
1533 NUL is stripped off and the balance is sent back to rxvt.
1534
1535 As a convenience for the many Emacs-type editors, *action* may start
1536 with M- (eg, M-$ is equivalent to \E$) and a CR will be appended if
1537 missed from M-x commands.
1538
1539 As a convenience for issuing XTerm ESC ] sequences from a menubar (or
1540 quick arrow), a BEL (^G) will be appended if needed.
1541
1542 For example,
1543 M-xapropos is equivalent to \Exapropos\r
1544
1545 and \E]703;mona;100 is equivalent to \E]703;mona;100\a
1546
1547 The option {*right-rtext*} will be right-justified. In the absence of a
1548 specified action, this text will be used as the *action* as well.
1549
1550 For example,
1551 /File/{Open}{^X^F} is equivalent to /File/{Open}{^X^F} ^X^F
1552
1553 The left label *is* necessary, since it's used for matching, but
1554 implicitly hiding the left label (by using same name for both left and
1555 right labels), or explicitly hiding the left label (by preceeding it
1556 with a dot), makes it possible to have right-justified text only.
1557
1558 For example,
1559 /File/{Open}{Open} Open-File-Action
1560
1561 or hiding it
1562 /File/{.anylabel}{Open} Open-File-Action

1584 Quick Arrows
1585 The menus also provide a hook for *quick arrows* to provide easier user
1586 access. If nothing has been explicitly set, the default is to emulate
1587 the curror keys. The syntax permits each arrow to be altered
1588 individually or all four at once without re-entering their common
1589 beginning/end text. For example, to explicitly associate cursor actions
1590 with the arrows, any of the following forms could be used:
1591
1592 <r>+*Right*
1593 <l>+*Left*
1594 <u>+*Up*
1595 <d>+*Down*
1596 Define actions for the respective arrow buttons
1597
1598 <b>+*Begin*
1599 <e>+*End*
1600 Define common beginning/end parts for *quick arrows* which used in
1601 conjunction with the above <r> <l> <u> <d> constructs
1602
1603 For example, define arrows individually,
1604 <u>\E[A
1605
1606 <d>\E[B
1607
1608 <r>\E[C
1609
