sawfish-extra-menus is a collection of extensions to the Sawfish window manager which provides some extra GTK menus:

• file-browser-menu
• selection-menu
• workspace-windows-menu

Evaluate the following expressions on the sawfish session (or place them in your .sawfishrc file and restart the window manager):

(require 'workspace-windows-menu)
(require 'selection-menu)
(require 'file-browser-menu)

Then you can bind the menu functions to keys. You can do this by using sawfish-ui (Bindings tab) or by setting the global-keymap variable.

Example:

(bind-keys global-keymap
     "Super-s"    'selection-popup-menu
     "Super-w"    'workspace-windows-popup-menu
     "Super-f"    'fbm-popup-files-menu)

To configure the menus, see the description for each one.

file-broser-menu.jl provides a menu to allow users manipulate files and directories. Actions for files can be configured through the fbm-file-actions variable. Actions for directories can be configured through the fbm-dir-actions variable. The menu which lists files and directories uses the ls program to get file names. The options for ls can be configured through the fbm-ls-switches variable.

Actions for files:

selection-menu.jl provides a menu to allow users select X selections (primary, secondary and clipboard). Actions to be applyed to selections can be configured through the selection-actions variable. It was inspired by Stephen Farrell's services.jl.

• Swapping selections is done by an external process. You'll need the xclip program. You can find it at http://people.debian.org/~kims/xclip/.

• If pasting selections doesn't seem to work with xterms, take a look at this thread from the sawfish mailing list: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/sawfish-list/2004-February/msg00003.html.

Actions for selections:

workspace-windows-menu.jl provides a menu which lists windows per-workspace. When a window is selected from the menu, it is raised and gets focus.
