(Solved) F11 in Gtkdialog GUI?

[ITSMERSH]

Hi.

Using keyboard F11 usually makes a window sized full screen and revert.

I would like to add this to my program (GUI made with gtkdialog).

How to achieve? Is this possible?

Requires wmctrl:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
echo '<window>
<text label="F11 toggles fullscreen"></text>
<action signal="key-press-event">[ $KEY_SYM = F11 ] && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen</action>
</window>'|gtkdialog -s

Thank you MochiMoppel.

You're an expert for real!

I have wmctrl installed in all my Puppies (32 & 64), since I'm using it for different stuff like a script waiting after booting until a specific window appears on the screen. Then switching the desktop to my favorite selection of programs and executing the creation of lots of symbolic links etc.pp.

The wmctrl is pretty cool and some more easy to use than xdotool which I have also installed in all my Puppies.

Edit:

Copied <action signal="key-press-event">[ $KEY_SYM = F11 ] && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen</action> and pasted into my script. Works immediately!

Added <action signal="key-press-event">[ $KEY_SYM = F12 ] && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,shaded</action> to roll up / roll down the window. Works also immediately!

Thanks again!

It works?
1) If used as in my example "shaded" can't be toggled. Here shaded (and minimized) windows do not respond to signals and can not unshade themselves.

2) In most Puppies the F12 key is bound to the JWM menu and has priority over assignments in gtkdialog or any other application.
I tried in vain to argue against it a couple of times. Unfortunately this strange configuration is present in even the most recent Puppies

Yes, both keyboard shortcuts do work - as long as the window is the active one on top!

I have tried F10 first but this opens the Menu of my gtkdialog (gtkdialog 0.8.4) program.

Also, I have Openbox and LxPanel installed. I prever Openbox since the Days of Lucid 528 instead of JWM (never liked JWM really, though I found it easier to modify - at least the versions of the Woof Puppies (WoofCE did change a lot on JWM's Menus and how it is built)).
