twm run

[mohman]

Hi.

How to make a "RUN" command to TWM's menus, like "f.run"? Fluxbox has its own run, but how's to TWM?

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for .twmrc, but I mean;

TWM:
Run !"ask what to run"

like

Fluxbox:
[exec] (Run Command) {fbrun -font 10x20 -fg black -bg lightgrey -title run}

Is there another program like fbrun? xrun? because fbrun needs Fluxbox installed.

My mistake. As far as I know, TWM doesn't do that.

There are some launchers in ports that provide a basic run prompt. Most of them aren't very good. x11/dmenu and hotkeying dmenu_run is my personal favorite.

Well, I'm back to Fluxbox anyway, clean and simple to setup with .conf files .
Thanks for anyone for answering.
