.jwm-tray has this:
<TrayButton popup="Show Desktop" icon="mini-desktop.xpm">showdesktop</TrayButton>
This allows you to minimize all windows and showdesktop by clicking the icon.
Apparently, showdesktop is not a command.
I'd like to do this without needing the mouse. Is there a command for this?
If so, it could be bound to a key combo in .jwmrc like this:
<Key mask="A" key="Super_L">exec:showdesktop_cmd</Key>
where showdesktop_cmd is what I'm looking for.

xophist,
You are almost there!
As you have noted, showdesktop is not a regular command that can be run on the command line. It is a JWM "action".
exec: is another JWM "action" used for running regular commands, but not other JWM actions.
So you want to eliminate the exec: and just use showdesktop, like this:
At least that works on JWM version svn-505, which came with Racy 5.2.2.
Good luck.

Your explanation was helpful.
