PROGRAM:

NAME

aemenu, aepanel, aesession, switch-desk - programs for use with aewm(1x)

SYNOPSIS

aemenu [--config|-rc <file>] [-s|--switch]
aepanel [--config|-rc <file>] [-b|--bottom]
aesession
aedesk [-n <num>] [[+|-]<num>]

DESCRIPTION

The programs listed above provide several window and session management features to
complement aewm(1x). aemenu and aepanel launch programs and raise existing windows (or
unhide iconified ones). aemenu uses a popup menu to accomplish this (the --switch option
changes the function of this menu), while aepanel stays on the screen inbetween uses
(launching and switching functionality are both always available).

Each program comes in both a GTK+ and a Xaw version; aemenu is actually a symlink to
either aemenu-gtk or aemenu-xaw (likewise for aepanel).

The list of programs to be run by both clients is read from $HOME/.aewm/clientsrc. There
are two kinds of directives that may be used in this file:

cmd "Description" "command"

defines a command, which whill be interpreted by sh(1).

menu "Title"
(...)
end

defines a submenu. The number of submenus that can be nested within each other is limited
only by stack space. Double quotes may be included within quoted strings by escaping them
with a blackslash (\"), and quotes may be omitted around single-word descriptions or
commands. Blank lines and lines starting with '#' are ignored.

aesession is a do-nothing program; it will simply reap any children it inherits and then
sleep. By ending your $HOME/.xsession script with "exec aesession", you can exit and
restart aewm(1x) without killing your X session. The author does not really expect anyone
except WM hackers to find this useful.

aedesk changes to a new virtual desktop, specfied by num, or sets the number of available
desktops, with -n.
