NAME
     dtwmrc - the dtwm Window Manager Resource Description File

DESCRIPTION
     The dtwmrc	window manager is a supplementary  resource  file
     that controls much	of the behavior	of the TED window manager
     dtwm.  It contains	descriptions  of  resources  that  cannot
     easily be written using standard X	Window System, Version 11
     resource syntax.  The  resource  description  file	 contains
     entries  that  are	 referred  to  by X resources in defaults
     files (for	example, /usr/dt/app-defaults/$LANG/Dtwm)  or  in
     the RESOURCE_MANAGER property on the root window.

     For example, the resource description file	 enables  you  to
     specify  different	 types	of  window  menus;  however, an	X
     resource is used to specify which of these	window menus  the
     dtwm should use for a particular window.

     The specifications	of the	resource  description  file  sup-
     ported  by	 the dtwm workspace manager are	a strict superset
     of	the specifications supported  by  the  OSF  Motif  Window
     Manager  (mwm  1.2.4).   In other words, the system.mwmrc or
     $HOME/.mwmrc file that you've used	for mwm	 is  easily  made
     usable by dtwm.

     To	merge your  personal  mwm  resource  specifications  into
     dtwm:

	o	Copy  either  /etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.dtwmrc  or
		/usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.dtwmrc		       to
		$HOME/.dt/dtwmrc.

	o	Use a text editor to move menu	definitions,  key
		bindings,  and	button	bindings from your .mwmrc
		file to	your dtwmrc file.  To merge your key  and
		button	bindings,  you'll need to augment the key
		and button bindings that are referenced	 by  dtwm
		by  default (refer to buttonBindings and keyBind-
		ings resources	in  the	 dtwm  app-defaults  file
		/usr/dt/app-defaults/$LANG/Dtwm).  To replace the
		key or	button	bindings,  you'll  also	 need  to
		modify	your personal keyBindings and buttonBind-
		ings resources.

	o	Restart	dtwm.

  Location
     The workspace manager searches  for  one  of  the	following
     resource  description files, where	$LANG is the value of the
     language environment on a per-user	basis:
     $HOME/.dt/$LANG/dtwmrc
     $HOME/.dt/dtwmrc

     /etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.dtwmrc
     /etc/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc
     /usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.dtwmrc
     /usr/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc

     The first file found is the first used.
     If	no file	is found, a set	 of  built-in  specifications  is
     used.

     A particular resource description file can	be selected using
     the configFile resource.

     The following shows how  a	 different  resource  description
     file can be specified from	the command line:

	  /usr/dt/bin/dtwm -xrm	"Dtwm*configFile: mydtwmrc"

  Resource Types
     The following types of resources can  be  described  in  the
     dtwm resource description file:

	Buttons	       Workspace manager functions can	be  bound
		       (associated) with button	events.

	Keys	       Workspace manager functions can	be  bound
		       (associated) with key press events.

	Menus	       Menu panes can be used for the window menu
		       and  other  menus posted	with key bindings
		       and button bindings.

DTWM RESOURCE DESCRIPTION FILE SYNTAX
     The dtwm resource description file	is a standard  text  file
     that  contains  items  of	information  separated by blanks,
     tabs, and new lines characters.  Blank  lines  are	 ignored.
     Items or characters can be	quoted to avoid	special	interpre-
     tation (for example, the comment character	can be quoted  to
     prevent it	from being interpreted as the comment character).
     A quoted item can be contained in double quotes ("	").

     Single characters can be quoted by	 preceding  them  by  the
     back-slash	 character (\),	except for workspace names, which
     may contain no back-slash characters.  If a line ends with	a
     back-slash,  the  next  line is considered	a continuation of
     that line.

     All text from an unquoted #  to  the  end	of  the	 line  is
     regarded  as  a  comment and is not interpreted as	part of	a
     resource description.  If ! is  the  first	 character  in	a
     line, the line is regarded	as a comment.

  Workspace Manager Functions
     Workspace manager functions can be	accessed with button  and
     key  bindings,  and with workspace	manager	menus.	Functions
     are indicated as part of the specifications for  button  and
     key  binding  sets, and menu panes.  The function specifica-
     tion has the following syntax:

	  function = function_name [function_args]
	  function_name	= workspace manager function
	  function_args	= {quoted_item | unquoted_item}

     The following functions are supported.   If  a  function  is
     specified	that isn't one of the supported	functions then it
     is	interpreted by dtwm as f.nop.

	f.action       This function causes the	specified  action
		       to  be  invoked	by  means  of the message
		       server.

	f.beep	       This function causes a beep.

	f.circle_down [icon | window]
		       This function causes the	 window	 or  icon
		       that  is	on the top of the window stack to
		       be put on the bottom of the  window  stack
		       (so  that  it  is  no longer obscuring any
		       other  window  or  icon).   This	 function
		       affects	only those windows and icons that
		       are obscuring other windows and icons,  or
		       that  are  obscured  by	other windows and
		       icons.  Secondary windows (that is,  tran-
		       sient  windows)	are  restacked with their
		       associated primary window.  Secondary win-
		       dows  always stay on top	of the associated
		       primary window and there	can be	no  other
		       primary windows between the secondary win-
		       dows and	their primary window.  If an icon
		       function	 argument  is specified, then the
		       function	applies	only to	icons.	If a win-
		       dow  function  argument	is specified then
		       the function applies only to windows.

	f.circle_up [icon | window]
		       This function raises the	window or icon on
		       the bottom of the window	stack (so that it
		       is not obscured	by  any	 other	windows).
		       This  function  affects only those windows
		       and icons that are obscuring other windows
		       and  icons,  or that are	obscured by other
		       windows	and  icons.   Secondary	  windows
		       (that is, transient windows) are	restacked
		       with their associated primary window.   If

dtwmrc(4)	 DEVICES AND NETWORK INTERFACES		dtwmrc(4)

		       an  icon	 function  argument  is	specified
		       then the	function applies only  to  icons.
		       If  an  window function argument	is speci-
		       fied then the  function	applies	 only  to
		       windows.

	f.create_workspace
		       This function  creates  a  new  workspace.
		       The   new   workspace  name  is	generated
		       automatically and  is  of  the  form  ws_n
		       where n is an integer.

	f.delete_workspace
		       This   function	 deletes   the	  current
		       workspace.   Windows  that  reside only in
		       this workspace will be moved to	the  next
		       workspace.  If the last workspace is being
		       deleted,	then windows will be moved to the
		       first workspace.

	f.exec command (or ! command)
		       This function causes command  to	 be  exe-
		       cuted (using the	value of the $MWMSHELL or
		       $SHELL environment variable if set; other-
		       wise, /usr/bin/sh).  The	! notation can be
		       used in place of	the f.exec function name.

	f.focus_color  This function sets the colormap focus to	a
		       client  window.	 If this function is done
		       in a root context, then the default color-
		       map  (setup by the X Window System for the
		       screen where dtwm is running) is	installed
		       and  there  is  no  specific client window
		       colormap	focus.	This function is  treated
		       as  f.nop  if  colormapFocusPolicy  is not
		       explicit.

	f.focus_key    This  function  sets  the  keyboard  input
		       focus  to  a  client window or icon.  This
		       function	is treated as f.nop if	keyboard-
		       FocusPolicy  is	not explicit or	the func-
		       tion is executed	in a root context.

	f.goto_workspace workspace
		       This function causes the	workspace manager
		       to   switch  to	the  workspace	named  by
		       workspace.  If no workspace exists by  the
		       specified  name,	 then  no  action occurs.
		       Note that adding	and  deleting  workspaces
		       dynamically and affect this function.

	f.help [topic [volume]]

Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995			4

dtwmrc(4)	 DEVICES AND NETWORK INTERFACES		dtwmrc(4)

		       This function displays help on the  speci-
		       fied  topic  and	 volume.  If no	volume is
		       given, then the workspace  manager  volume
		       is  assumed.   If  no topic is given, then
		       help on the front panel is shown.

	f.help_mode    This function causes the	workspace manager
		       to enter	into help mode.	In help	mode, the
		       pointer changes shape to	indicate that the
		       window  manager	is  waiting  for  you  to
		       select a	front panel  control.	Any  help
		       defined for the control is then shown in	a
		       help window.

	f.kill	       This function is	used to	close application
		       windows.	   The	 actual	 processing  that
		       occurs depends on the protocols	that  the
		       application   observes.	 The  application
		       lists the protocols  it	observes  in  the
		       WM_PROTOCOLS  property  on  its	top level
		       window.

		       If   the	   application	  observes    the
		       WM_DELETE_WINDOW	 protocol,  it	is sent	a
		       message	that  requests	the   window   be
		       deleted.

		       If   the	  application	 observes    both
		       WM_DELETE_WINDOW	 and WM_SAVE_YOURSELF, it
		       is sent one message requesting the  window
		       be deleted and another message advising it
		       to save its state.

		       If  the	application  observes  only   the
		       WM_SAVE_YOURSELFprotocol,  it  is  sent	a
		       message advising	it  to	save  its  state.
		       After  a	 delay (specified by the resource
		       quitTimeout), the application's connection
		       to the X	server is terminated.

		       If the  application  observes  neither  of
		       these  protocols,  its connection to the	X
		       server is terminated.

	f.lower	[-client | within | freeFamily]
		       This function lowers a primary  window  to
		       the  bottom  of	the  global  window stack
		       (where it obscures no  other  window)  and
		       lowers  the  secondary  window  (transient
		       window or dialog	box)  within  the  client
		       family.	 The  arguments	 to this function
		       are mutually exclusive.

Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995			5

dtwmrc(4)	 DEVICES AND NETWORK INTERFACES		dtwmrc(4)

		       The client argument indicates the name  or
		       class  of  a client to lower.  The name or
		       class of	a client appears in the	 WM_CLASS
		       property	on the client's	top-level window.
		       If the client argument is  not  specified,
		       the  context that the function was invoked
		       in indicates the	window or icon to lower.

		       Specifying  within  lowers  the	secondary
		       window  within  the  family (staying above
		       the parent) but does not	lower the  client
		       family in the global window stack.

		       Specifying freeFamily lowers the	window to
		       the  bottom  of	the  global windows stack
		       from its	local family stack.

	f.marquee_selection
		       This function is	only useful  in	 conjunc-
		       tion   with  the	 TED  file  manager  (see
		       dtfile(1)).  It enables selection of  file
		       manager	objects	 that have been	placed on
		       the root	window.	 It must be  bound  to	a
		       button when used.

	f.maximize     This function causes a client window to be
		       displayed with its maximum size.	 Refer to
		       the maximumClientSize, maximumMaximumSize,
		       and limitResize resources in dtwm(1).

	f.menu menu_name
		       This  function  associates   a	cascading
		       (pull-right)  menu  with	a menu pane entry
		       or a menu with a	button	or  key	 binding.
		       The menu_name function argument identifies
		       the menu	to be used.

	f.minimize     This function causes a client window to be
		       minimized  (iconified).	 When a	window is
		       minimized with no icon box in use, and  if
		       the  lowerOnIconify resource has	the value
		       True (the default), the icon is placed  on
		       the  bottom of the window stack (such that
		       it obscures no other window).  If an  icon
		       box   is	 used,	then  the  client's  icon
		       changes to its iconified	form  inside  the
		       icon  box.   Secondary  windows	(that is,
		       transient  windows)  are	 minimized   with
		       their associated	primary	window.	 There is
		       only one	icon for a primary window and all
		       its secondary windows.

	f.move	       This  function  initiates  an  interactive
		       move of a client	window.

	f.next_cmap    This function installs the  next	 colormap
		       in  the	list  of colormaps for the window
		       with the	colormap focus.

	f.next_key [icon | window | transient]
		       This  function  sets  the  keyboard  input
		       focus  to  the next window/icon in the set
		       of windows/icons	managed	by the	workspace
		       manager (the ordering of	this set is based
		       on the stacking of windows on the screen).
		       This  function is treated as f.nop if key-
		       boardFocusPolicy	 is  not  explicit.   The
		       keyboard	input focus is only moved to win-
		       dows that do not	have an	associated secon-
		       dary window that	is application modal.  If
		       the transient argument is specified,  then
		       transient    (secondary)	   windows    are
		       traversed (otherwise, if	 only  window  is
		       specified,  traversal  is done only to the
		       last focused window in a	transient group).
		       If an icon function argument is specified,
		       then the	function applies only  to  icons.
		       If  a  window  function argument	is speci-
		       fied, then the function	applies	 only  to
		       windows.

	f.next_workspace
		       This function causes the	workspace manager
		       to  switch  to the next workspace.  If the
		       last workspace is currently  active,  then
		       this  function  will  switch  to	the first
		       workspace.

	f.nop	       This function does nothing.

	f.normalize    This function causes a client window to be
		       displayed with its normal size.	Secondary
		       windows (that is, transient  windows)  are
		       placed  in  their  normal state along with
		       their associated	primary	window.

	f.normalize_and_raise
		       This function causes a client window to be
		       displayed  with its normal size and raised
		       to the top of the window	stack.	Secondary
		       windows	(that  is, transient windows) are
		       placed in their normal  state  along  with
		       their associated	primary	window.

	f.occupy_all   This function causes the	associated window
		       to be placed in all workspaces.

	f.pack_icons   This function is	used  to  relayout  icons
		       (based on the layout policy being used) on
		       the root	window or in the  icon	box.   In
		       general	this  causes icons to be "packed"
		       into the	icon grid.

	f.pass_keys    This function is	 used  to  enable/disable
		       (toggle)	 processing  of	 key bindings for
		       workspace manager functions.  When it dis-
		       ables  key binding processing all keys are
		       passed on to the	window with the	 keyboard
		       input focus and no workspace manager func-
		       tions are  invoked.   If	 the  f.pass_keys
		       function	 is invoked with a key binding to
		       disable key binding  processing	the  same
		       key  binding  can  be  used  to enable key
		       binding processing.

	f.post_wmenu   This function is	used to	post  the  window
		       menu.  If a key is used to post the window
		       menu and	a window menu button is	 present,
		       the  window  menu  is automatically placed
		       with its	top-left corner	 at  the  bottom-
		       left  corner of the window menu button for
		       the client window.  If no window	menu but-
		       ton is present,	the window menu	is placed
		       at the top-left corner of the client  win-
		       dow.

	f.prev_cmap    This function installs the previous color-
		       map  in the list	of colormaps for the win-
		       dow with	the colormap focus.

	f.prev_key [icon | window | transient]
		       This  function  sets  the  keyboard  input
		       focus  to  the previous window/icon in the
		       set  of	windows/icons  managed	 by   the
		       workspace  manager  (the	 ordering of this
		       set is based on the stacking of windows on
		       the  screen).  This function is treated as
		       f.nop if	keyboardFocusPolicy is not expli-
		       cit.   The  keyboard  input  focus is only
		       moved to	windows	that do	not have an asso-
		       ciated  secondary  window that is applica-
		       tion modal.  If the transient argument  is
		       specified, then transient (secondary) win-
		       dows are	 traversed  (otherwise,	 if  only
		       window  is  specified,  traversal  is done
		       only to	the  last  focused  window  in	a

		       transient  group).   If	an  icon function
		       argument	is specified  then  the	 function
		       applies only to icons.  If an window func-
		       tion argument is	specified then the  func-
		       tion applies only to windows.

	f.prev_workspace
		       This function causes the	workspace manager
		       to  switch  to the previous workspace.  If
		       the first workspace is  currently  active,
		       then  this  function  switches to the last
		       workspace.

	f.quit_mwm     This function terminates	dtwm (but NOT the
		       X window	system).

	f.raise	[-client | within | freeFamily]
		       This function raises a primary  window  to
		       the  top	of the global window stack (where
		       it is obscured by  no  other  window)  and
		       raises  the  secondary  window  (transient
		       window or dialog	box)  within  the  client
		       family.	 The  arguments	 to this function
		       are mutually exclusive.

		       The client argument indicates the name  or
		       class of	a client to lower.  If the client
		       is not specified,  the  context	that  the
		       function	was invoked in indicates the win-
		       dow or icon to lower.

		       Specifying  within  raises  the	secondary
		       window  within  the  family  but	 does not
		       raise the client	family in the global win-
		       dow stack.

		       Specifying freeFamily raises the	window to
		       the  top	 of  its  local	 family	stack and
		       raises the family to the	top of the global
		       window stack.

	f.raise_lower [within |	freeFamily]
		       This function raises a primary  window  to
		       the  top	 of the	global window stack if it
		       is partially obscured by	 another  window;
		       otherwise,  it  lowers  the  window to the
		       bottom of the window stack.  The	arguments
		       to this function	are mutually exclusive.

		       Specifying within raises	a secondary  win-
		       dow  within  the	family (staying	above the
		       parent  window),	 if   it   is	partially

dtwmrc(4)	 DEVICES AND NETWORK INTERFACES		dtwmrc(4)

		       obscured	  by   another	 window	  in  the
		       application's family; otherwise,	it lowers
		       the  window  to	the  bottom of the family
		       stack.  It has no  effect  on  the  global
		       window stacking order.

		       Specifying freeFamily raises the	window to
		       the  top	 of  its  local	 family	stack, if
		       obscured	by another window, and raises the
		       family  to  the	top  of	the global window
		       stack; otherwise, it lowers the window  to
		       the  bottom  of its local family	stack and
		       lowers the family to  the  bottom  of  the
		       global window stack.

	f.refresh      This function causes  all  windows  to  be
		       redrawn.

	f.refresh_win  This function causes a client window to be
		       redrawn.

	f.remove       This function causes a client window to be
		       removed	from  the  current workspace.  If
		       the client  window  exists  only	 in  this
		       workspace, no action occurs.

	f.resize       This  function  initiates  an  interactive
		       resize of a client window.

	f.restore      This function restores the previous  state
		       of an icon's associated window.	If a max-
		       imized window is	iconified, then	f.restore
		       restores	 it to its maximized state.  If	a
		       normal window is	iconified, then	f.restore
		       restores	it to its normalized state.

	f.restore_and_raise
		       This function restores the previous  state
		       of  an icon's associated	window and raises
		       the window to the top of	the window stack.
		       If  a  maximized	window is iconified, then
		       f.restore_and_raise  restores  it  to  its
		       maximized  state	 and raises it to the top
		       of the window stack.  If	a  normal  window
		       is   iconified,	then  f.restore_and_raise
		       restores	it to its  normalized  state  and
		       raises it to the	top of the window stack.

	2f.restart     This function causes dtwm to be	restarted
		       (effectively  terminated	and re-executed).
		       Restart is necessary for	 dtwm  to  incor-
		       porate changes in both the dtwmrc file and

		       X resources.

	f.screen [next | prev |	back | screen_number]
		       This function causes  the  pointer  to  be
		       warp to a specific screen number	or to the
		       next, previous,	or  last  visited  (back)
		       screen.	 The  arguments	 to this function
		       are mutually exclusive.

		       The screen_number argument  indicates  the
		       screen  number  that  the pointer is to be
		       warped.	 Screens  are  numbered	 starting
		       from screen 0.

		       Specifying next cause the pointer to  warp
		       to  the next managed screen (skipping over
		       any unmanaged screens).

		       Specifying prev cause the pointer to  warp
		       to  the	previous managed screen	(skipping
		       over any	unmanaged screens).

		       Specifying back cause the pointer to  warp
		       to the last visited screen.

	f.send_msg message_number
		       This function sends an XClientMessageEvent
		       of     type     _MOTIF_WM_MESSAGES    with
		       message_type set	to  message_number.   The
		       client	 message    is	 sent	only   if
		       message_number is included in the client's
		       _MOTIF_WM_MESSAGES  property.  A	menu item
		       label is	grayed out if the  menu	 item  is
		       used to do f.send_msg of	a message that is
		       not    included	  in	 the	 client's
		       _MOTIF_WM_MESSAGES property.

	f.separator    This function causes a menu  separator  to
		       be  put	in the menu pane at the	specified
		       location	(the label is ignored).

	f.set_behavior This function causes the	workspace manager
		       to restart with the default behavior (if	a
		       custom behavior is configured) or a custom
		       behavior	(if a default behavior is config-
		       ured).	By  default  this  is  bound   to
		       Shift Ctrl Alt <Key>!.

	f.title	       This function inserts a title in	the  menu
		       pane at the specified location.

	f.toggle_frontpanel

Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995		       11

dtwmrc(4)	 DEVICES AND NETWORK INTERFACES		dtwmrc(4)

		       If the front panel is in	the normal state,
		       this  function  causes it to be minimized.
		       If the  front  panel  is	 minimized,  this
		       function	 will  change  it  to  the normal
		       state.

	f.version      This function causes the	workspace manager
		       to display its release version in a dialog
		       box.

	f.workspace_presence
		       This function displays the workspace pres-
		       ence  (or  "Occupy Workspace") dialog box.
		       This dialog allows you to view and set the
		       workspace  in  which  a	particular window
		       resides.	 The root context  is  disallowed
		       for this	function.

  Function Constraints
     Each function may be constrained as to which resource  types
     can  specify  the function	(for example, menu pane) and also
     what context the function can be used in (for  example,  the
     function  is  done	to the selected	client window).	 Function
     contexts are:

	root	       No client window	or icon	has been selected
		       as an object for	the function.

	window	       A client	window has been	 selected  as  an
		       object  for  the	 function.  This includes
		       the window's title bar  and  frame.   Some
		       functions are applied only when the window
		       is in its normalized state  (for	 example,
		       f.maximize)  or	its  maximized state (for
		       example,	f.normalize).

	icon	       An icon has been	selected as an object for
		       the function.

     If	a function is specified	in a type of resource where it is
     not supported or is invoked in a context that does	not apply
     then the function is treated as f.nop.  The following  table
     indicates	the resource types and function	contexts in which
     workspace manager functions apply.

     Button events have	the following syntax:

	  button =~[modifier_list]<button_event_name>
	  modifier_list	=~modifier_name	{modifier_name}

     The following table indicates the values that  can	 be  used
     for  modifier_name.   Note	that [Alt] and [Meta] can be used
     interchangably on some hardware.

     Locking modifiers are ignored when	processing button and key
     bindings.	 The  following	 table lists keys that are inter-
     preted as locking modifiers.  The X server	may map	 some  of
     these  symbols to the Mod1	- Mod5 modifier	keys.  These keys
     may or may	not be available on your hardware:
     Key Symbol
     Caps Lock
     Shift Lock
     Kana Lock

     Key events	that are used by the workspace manager	for  menu
     mnemonics and for binding to workspace manager functions are
     single key	presses; key releases are  ignored.   Key  events
     have the following	syntax:

	  key =~[modifier_list]<Key>key_name
	  modifier_list	=~modifier_name	{modifier_name}

     All modifiers specified are interpreted as	 being	exclusive
     (this means that only the specified modifiers can be present
     when the key event	occurs).  Modifiers for	keys are the same
     as	 those	that  apply  to	 buttons.  The key_name	is an X11
     keysym name.  Keysym names	can be found in	 the  keysymdef.h
     file (remove the XK_ prefix).

BUTTON BINDINGS
     The buttonBindings	resource value is the name of  a  set  of
     button bindings that are used to configure	workspace manager
     behavior.	A workspace manager function can be done  when	a
     button  press   occurs with the pointer over a framed client
     window, an	icon or	the root window.  The context  for  indi-
     cating  where  the	 button	press applies is also the context
     for invoking the workspace	manager	function when the  button
     press  is	done  (significant for functions that are context
     sensitive).

     The button	binding	syntax is

	  Buttons bindings_set_name
	  {
	      button	context	   function
	      button	context	   function
				   .
				   .
	      button	context	   function
	  }

     The syntax	for the	context	specification is:
     context = object[|context]
     object = root | icon | window | title | frame | border | app

Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995		       15

dtwmrc(4)	 DEVICES AND NETWORK INTERFACES		dtwmrc(4)

     The context specification indicates where the  pointer  must
     be	 for  the button binding to be effective.  For example,	a
     context of	window indicates that the pointer must be over	a
     client  window  or	 window	 management  frame for the button
     binding to	be effective.  The frame context is for	the  win-
     dow  management  frame around a client window (including the
     border and	titlebar), the border context is for  the  border
     part  of  the  window  management	frame  (not including the
     titlebar),	the title context is for the title  area  of  the
     window  management	 frame,	 and  the  app context is for the
     application window	 (not  including  the  window  management
     frame).

     If	an f.nop function is specified for a button binding,  the
     button binding is not done.

KEY BINDINGS
     The keyBindings resource value is the name	of a set  of  key
     bindings  that  are  used	to  configure  workspace  manager
     behavior. A window	manager	function can be	done when a  par-
     ticular key is pressed. The context in which the key binding
     applies is	indicated in the key binding specification.   The
     valid  contexts  are  the same as those that apply	to button
     bindings.

     The key binding syntax is:

	  Keys bindings_set_name
	  {
	      key    context	function
	      key    context	function
			  .
			  .
	      key    context	function
	  }

     If	an f.nop function is specified for a key binding, the key
     binding  is not done.  If an f.post_wmenu or f.menu function
     is	bound to a key,	dtwm automatically uses	the same key  for
     removing  the  menu from the screen after it has been popped
     up.

     The context specification syntax is the same as  for  button
     bindings with one addition.  The context ifkey may	be speci-
     fied for binding keys that	 may  not  be  available  on  all
     displays.	 If  the  key is not available and if ifkey is in
     the context, then reporting of  the  error	 message  to  the
     error  log	 is  suppressed.   This	 feature  is  useful  for
     networked,	heterogeneous environments.

     For key bindings, the frame, title, border, and app contexts
     are equivalent to the window context.  The	context	for a key

Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995		       16

dtwmrc(4)	 DEVICES AND NETWORK INTERFACES		dtwmrc(4)

     event is the window or icon  that	has  the  keyboard  input
     focus  (root  if  no  window  or icon has the keyboard input
     focus).

MENU PANES
     Menus can be popped up using  the	f.post_wmenu  and  f.menu
     workspace	manager	 functions.   The  context  for	workspace
     manager functions that are	done from a menu is root, icon or
     window depending on how the menu was popped up.  In the case
     of	the window menu	or menus popped	up with	 a  key	 binding,
     the  location of the keyboard input focus indicates the con-
     text.  For	menus popped up	using a	button binding,	the  con-
     text of the button	binding	is the context of the menu.

     The menu pane specification syntax	is:

	  Menu menu_name
	  {
	      label  [mnemonic]	 [accelerator]	 function
	      label  [mnemonic]	 [accelerator]	 function
			  .
			  .
	      label  [mnemonic]	 [accelerator]	 function
	  }

     Each line in the Menu specification identifies the	label for
     a	menu item and the function to be done if the menu item is
     selected.	Optionally a menu button mnemonic and a	menu but-
     ton  keyboard  accelerator	 may be	specified.  Mnemonics are
     functional	only when the menu is posted and keyboard traver-
     sal applies.

     The label may be a	string	or  a  bitmap  file.   The  label
     specification has the following syntax:

	  label	= text | bitmap_file
	  bitmap_file =	@file_name
	  text = quoted_item | unquoted_item

     The string	encoding for labels must be compatible	with  the
     menu  font	 that  is  used.   Labels are greyed out for menu
     items that	do the f.nop function or an invalid function or	a
     function that doesn't apply in the	current	context.

     A mnemonic	specification has the following	syntax:

	  mnemonic = _character

     The first matching	character in the label is underlined.  If
     there  is no matching character in	the label, no mnemonic is
     registered	 with  the  workspace  manager	for  that  label.
     Although the character must exactly match a character in the

Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995		       17

dtwmrc(4)	 DEVICES AND NETWORK INTERFACES		dtwmrc(4)

     label, the	mnemonic does not execute if any  modifier  (such
     as	Shift) is pressed with the character key.

     The accelerator specification is a	key  event  specification
     with  the	same  syntax  as  is  used  for	 key  bindings to
     workspace manager functions.

INCLUDING FILES
     You may include other files into your dtwmrc file	by  using
     the include construct.  For example,

	  INCLUDE
	  {
	      /usr/local/shared/dtwm.menus
	      /home/kmt/personal/my.bindings
	  }

     causes the	files named to be  read	 in  and  interpreted  in
     order as an additional part of the	dtwmrc file.

     Include is	a  top-level  construct.   It  cannot  be  nested
     inside another construct.
