I'm sneaky that way sometimes... ;)

Same goes for exit options. Was trying to replicate tint2 as far as possible.

See my question above: how does the colon indicate a particular mouse action?

iirc they are in the order

Code: Select all

left : middle : right : up : down
Just leave one empty if you don't want to use it
eg. for only left and right click actions

Code: Select all

command1 : : command2

So if I want to use just left and middle I'd use this

Code: Select all

command1 :command2 
and if I wanted left and up it would be

Code: Select all

command1 : : :command2 
And when you say "iirc" what source are you remembering?

EDIT: corrected and tested

uhhhhh, not quite. you forgot the colon in front of the first command. So for only left and right click actions:

Code: Select all

:command1  :  :command2

not sure anymore, maybe this entry in the fluxbox man page
session.screen0.toolbar.button.<name>.commands: string:‘string’:‘string’:‘string’:‘string’ A colon delimited list of commands, executed when the respective mouse button is pressed on the toolbar button tool “button.<name>”

Hello
need first colon only when you plan the first command[click1] to be read blank : :
first slot on the table is click1 happens without a starting colon.
man does not begin with colon.
