- Use f.delete to dismiss popups, f.destroy kills the parent
- application. I bind a menu to the left side icon of the twm title
- bar:
-
- LeftTitleButton "menu12" = f.menu "windowmenu" # add a menu to each window
- menu "windowmenu"
- {
- "Iconify" f.iconify
- "RaiseLower" f.raiselower
- "Refresh" f.winrefresh
- "Focus" f.focus
- "" f.nop
- "Kill" f.menu "kill"
- }
-
- menu "kill"
- {
- "Kill Window" f.destroy
- "Send Delete" f.delete
- }
