Fluxbox - close window with middle button click on iconbar

dr_agon · 08-15-2016, 04:21 AM

Hello.

Is there a way to configure Fluxbox to close the window with middle mouse button click on its title in iconbar (similar to XFCE panel behavior)?

It seems to me that iconbar reacts only to left and right click, and middle click (Mouse2) is handled by toolbar (therefore closing the window which has focus, and not the one clicked.

Any hints appreciated

I'd look in ~/.fluxbox/preferences text file myself. I am not on my fluxbox laptop right now,

I haven't got such a file. Did you mean ~/.fluxbox/init ?
I am using Fluxbox 1.3.5. I did look up the options for iconbar and keys file, without any useful result.

I think the file you want is ~/.fluxbox/keys.

The mouse actions are in the first part of the file.

Thanks for the reply, but I have already tried

Code:

OnToolbar Mouse2 :Close

My problem is that this mouse event is received by toolbar and not the particular window in inconbar, so the currently focused window is closed, regardless where I click.

every software has its limitations.
seems like you found one.
best advice: change your usage habits!

My bad on suggesting preferences file. I checked my little 9 inch netbook and I have no preferences file either. Closest I have is one called Personal for listing preferred applications in my menu.

Anyways. I figured I'd look through my styles folder in my ~/.fluxbox folder to see if any control over buttons could be made in there. I was hoping a theme edit might do it.

Unfortunately. I saw nothing there either.

I am not an expert in Fluxbox commands, but I suspect that a command starting with

Code:

Ontitlebar

might be more what you want.

Any of these examples will close a window in fluxbox.

~/.fluxbox/keys

Code:

OnTitlebar Double Mouse1 :Close
OnTitlebar Mouse2 :Close
OnTitlebar Control Mouse1 :Close
Mod4 q :Close
