[SOLVED] Question about Whisker menu
Re: Question about Whisker menu
Looks like they rearranged their github pages:
https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-ut ... hotcorners
Next time just search for their main page for their utilities: https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-utilities

Thanks asqwerth, this works!asqwerth wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 8:14 am You could try installing the hot-corner package from bunsenlabs: https://mxlinux.org/wiki/applications/hotcorner
Then add the command to activate whisker menu:
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=46629#p46629Code: Select all
xfce4-popup-whiskermenu
**tests it**
Yep, it works on my MX17 (I have hotcorner set up), but you have to make a deliberate movement of your cursor into the bottom left corner, so it's not a simple mouseover on top of the MX start menu button.
This is the content of ~/.config/bl-hotcorners/bl-hotcornersrc for now:
Code: Select all
[Hot Corners]
top_left_corner_command =xfce4-popup-whiskermenu
top_right_corner_command =
bottom_left_corner_command =
bottom_right_corner_command =
By the way, could you suggest other useful commands for the rest of the corners? I would appreciate that.
Thanks again!

@asqwerth: is the Wiki article still good? I ask b/c I saw a post on the Xfce Forum today recommending it.

Re: Question about Whisker menu
just found xfce4-hotcorner-plugin in Synaptic with the following description:
Could this be used as an alternative to the bl-hotcorner?Provides an easy to use xfce4 panel plugin to let users set hotcorner actions.
Currently it supports the following operation in primary display:
- xfdashboard
- toggle desktop
- start screensaver
- turn off monitor
- run custom command
Re: Question about Whisker menu
Hot corner plugin no longer works in Stretch, which is why I went looking for alternatives. And amended my wiki entry. Previous entry mentioned the xfce plugin.
I tested the plugin early in MX17's life and I recall doing some searches which showed it was a reported issue, not just specific to MX. If it's since been fixed, I don't know about it.
In mx15/16, the hot corner plugin will still work. So that's my setup in my mx15/16 installs.
Brightside will also work in MX17/18 but is very laggy. The response time after you move cursor to a corner is SLOOOOW.
Jerry, the wiki entry is still accurate except for the bunsenlabs link.

Read the wiki entry in more detail. I also use it to activate xfdashboard and "show desktop"philotux wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 8:45 pm

Re: Question about Whisker menu
Thanks for the info on the plugin!
Anyway, thanks so much for all the help!
I'll mark this topic solved.
Sure, I will. I guess, I was excited about getting it working that I stopped short of reading it through (bad excuse, I know).

Re: Question about Whisker menu
I'm chuffed that it's been quoted in XFCE forums!
The Wiki entry is still good save for the bunsenlabs github link for bl-hotcorner having changed. I have now updated my Wiki page to correct that, and:
1. clarify that xfdashboard can be triggered not just by keyboard shortcut but also by panel launcher
2. correct a typo
3. inform everyone that the skippy-xd package that was recompiled by Tim now works again.
