Version: 0.9.2

Gmrun is a little run-dialog like gexec. The nice thing is, that you could run it keyboard-driven. If you want to run a command 'normal' just enter and return, if you want to run it in a terminal, enter and Ctrl+return.

Config-file is /root/.gmrunrc.

Compiled and tested in 4.21.

Hi,

It was mentioned that there is an auto complete facility. If so, an explanation of what that means and how it works would help me.

My regards

The way I understand auto complete is IF firefox is the only command beginning with f then f is all I need to type (on the second occasion if they are my stored commands as opposed to system-wide commands).

Hi aragon,

I'm glad I asked. Thank you very much for your help.

My regards

I hope it is OK to ask another question which is, for me, unsolved. I use JWM and would like to combine and automate some shortcuts:

Win+g
wait 1 second
Win+z
wait 1 second
Ctrl+f

This puts Gnote in my tray, then opens my sole note on my desktop then adds the find option.

As I only do this once daily and it only takes a few seconds to do manually it is not important, but I would like to know how it can be done.

[aragon]

well let's see.

1. install attached pet.

2. Copy the following to a text-editor and save it as autognote.sh in
/root/my-applications/bin

[Jasper]

Hi again,

Thank you. I get output as follows:

# autognote.sh
/root/my-applications/bin/autognote.sh: line4: xdotool: command not found
#/root/my-applications/bin/autognote.sh: line8: xdotool: command not found
/root/my-applications/bin/autognote.sh: line7: xdotool: command not found

In case it may matter I use the win key for my first two manual shortcuts but they are referred to as Hyper+g and <Super>z where they are recorded.

I appreciate your kindness and I am happy to stay up, but it is late for you as well and we can easily continue this tomorrow (or whenever it may suit you). From the extra downloads of your PET it looks to be of more general interest.

My regards

Hi aragon,

You are of course correct and I had not installed the xdotool-pet. My humble apology - I can only think that I was trying to follow too many of your instructions at once and failed to click the pet.

If I amend your first line of your uncommented code from:

"xdotool key win+g" to "xdotool key super+g"

Gnote does appear minimised in my tray (after about one second).
------------------
Although I have tried amending your code using trial and error I have failed to make any further progress with autognote.sh and I have not even managed to activate the Gnote window.
------------------
However, when using the shortcut sequence individually the Gnote window becomes active after I have used super+z.

There is no rush on my part and I am delighted to have your help - so we should proceed entirely at your convenience.

My regards

[aragon]

the problem should be, that my code is looking for the active window whilst gnote allready seems to be minimised. if i get the chance, i will try to install gnote in luci and see if could fix this.

Hi aragon,

A portable version of Gnote is available from: http://portablelinuxapps.org/ [first column, well down].

Used individually the lines below work.

xdotool key super+g
xdotool key super+z
xdotool key ctrl+f

You have already been a great help to me, so please put any further advice at the bottom of your priorities.

My regards

[aragon]

Sir Jasper,

well i tried to install gnote in luci but failed because of a missing lib. the portable doesn't run either because of the missing lib so no luck atm with further testing.

sorry
aragon

[Jasper]

Hi aragon,

Thank you for trying.

My regards

[Jasper]

Hi aragon,

Today, I followed your above instructions, but with minor changes to the code so that it now reads:

[aragon]

wonderful!
