create a custom launcher

wmfs² integrate a native prompt available with the [Super]+[p] keybind. but you can create as many launchers as you want:

• ssh launcher: an SSH launcher enables you to start an SSH session in a new terminal window.
  To create an SSH launcher, add the following to the [launcher] section of your wmfsrc:

# ssh launcher
[launcher]
       name    = "launcher_ssh" 
       prompt  = "SSH to: " 
       command = "spawn urxvtc -e ssh"
       width   = 150
[/launcher]

to execute the launcher_ssh command, add the following to the [keys] section of your wmfsrc:

[key] mod = {"Alt", "Shift"} key = "p" func = "launcher" cmd = "launcher_ssh" [/key]

Now simply press Alt+Shift+P and enter ‘user@host’ at the prompt to launch an SSH session in a new terminal window.

• man page launcher: a man page launcher enables you to quickly launch man pages in a temporary terminal which closes when you exit the man page.
  Add the following to the [launchers] section of your wmfsrc:

# man page launcher
[launcher]
    name = "launcher_man" 
    prompt = "Man: " 
    command = "spawn xterm -e man"
    width = 150
[/launcher]

bind a hotkey to the man page launcher by adding the following to the [keys] section:

[key] mod = {"Alt"} key = "m" func = "launcher" cmd = "launcher_man" [/key]

control mocp from the statusbar

a script is using to control mocp and conky display information about the current track.
screenshot:

code:

#!/bin/bash
clear="#C7C7C7"
grey="#7D7D7D"
music(){
    music="$(conky -c ~/.config/wmfs/conkyrc_mocp)"
    echo "$music"
}
TIMING=5
statustext()
{
     wmfs -c status "testbar ^s[left;$clear;         mocp>](1;spawn;urxvt -e mocp)\
     ^s[left;$grey;·prev·](1;spawn;mocp -r)\
     ^s[left;$grey;play·](1;spawn;mocp -p)\
     ^s[left;$grey;next·](1;spawn;mocp -f)\
     ^s[left;$grey;pause·](1;spawn;mocp -G)\
     ^s[left;$clear;<$(music)]"
}
while true;
do
    statustext
    sleep $TIMING
done

conkyrc launched by the script.

transform the statusbar in a dock

the clickable statusbar feature let you integrate a dock in the wmfs² statusbar. here is an example of a “text-dock’ but you can easily disply icons with the code ^i[<position>;<dimensions>;<imagepath>].
screenshot:

code:

#!/bin/bash
#colors
clear=”#C7C7C7"

grey=“#7D7D7D”

wmfs -c status “testbar ^s[left;$clear;  short>]^s[left;$grey;· todo ·](1;spawn;dmenu-todo.sh)\

^s[left;$grey; wall ·](1;spawn;randwalls_wmfs.sh)\

^s[left;$grey; home ·](1;spawn;rox-filer)\

^s[left;$grey; www ·](1;spawn;luakit)\

^s[left;$grey; vim ·](1;spawn;urxvtc -T editor -e vim)\

^s[left;$grey; irc·](1;spawn;urxvtc -T irc -e screen irssi)\

^s[left;$grey; ~git ·](1;spawn;urxvtc -e ranger /home/arp/pkgs/wmfs/)\

^s[left;$grey; ~cfg ·](1;spawn;urxvtc -e ranger /home/arp/.config/wmfs/)”
