Re: [RP] Ratmenu keyboard shortcuts‏

[Gillian Seed]

Hi,

Sorry about HTML post, haven't used the mailing lists a lot. I wasn't able to 
find the original patch. I even contacted to author but he didn't neither had 
it archived, so I made one of my own. To use this patch, format of the ratmenu 
should be as follows,

#!/bin/bash
#                         
./ratmenu \
-label Menu \
"vi     v" "vim" -shortcut v \
"nano   n" "nano" -shortcut n \
"hex " "hexedit"

where v now will be shortcut to vim and n shortcut to nano. If you find any 
bugs, please let me know.
