It is based on the GTK+ toolkit. +.SH OPTIONS +If gmrun is invoked with a command-line parameter, that will be the initial content of the dialog box. +.PP +gmrun can be customized using a configuration file, ~/.gmrunrc . The system-wide configuration file is /etc/gmrunrc . +.PP +The format of the configuration file is simple; "variable = value". To refer to a variable as opposed to setting it, enclose the variable in ${}. +.TP +.B Example: +variable1 = foobar +.br +newvariable = ${variable1} foobaz +.TP +Were this placed within the configuration file, the gmrun variable "newvariable" would contain the text "foobar foobaz". Some variables that are understood by gmrun, by default. These are: +.TP +.B Terminal +The command to run when Ctrl+Enter is pressed with no command entered; used to start a new terminal. +.TP +.B TermExec +The command to run when Ctrl+Enter is pressed with a command entered. The entered command is supplied as an argument to TermExec. +.TP +.B Width +Initial width of gmrun window. +.TP +.B Top, Left +Initial placement of gmrun window - specify both Top and Left variables such that the gmrun window is placed at pixel (Top,Left) of your desktop. +.TP +.B History +Number of entered commands which should be kept in gmrun's history(~/.gmrun_history). Using the Up and Down arrow keys within the gmrun window will cycle through the history. You can search backwards through the history with Ctrl+R or by writing \fB!\fP (exclamation mark), and forward with Ctrl+S. To cancel a search, hit Ctrl+G or the \fIESC\fP key. Otherwise, after you have found the history item you wish to run, hit Enter. +.TP +.B ShowLast +Whether to show the last command as initial text, or an empty textarea (1 or 0). +.TP +.B Selected +Whether the initial text should be selected or not (1 or 0). +.SH URL HANDLING +As opposed to entering a command, gmrun supports the entering of URLs. The included configuration file(/etc/gmrunrc) gives some examples. To set up your own url, create a variable in /etc/gmrunrc or ~/.gmrunrc with the format of "URL_protocol". For instance, URL_http. Here is an example: +.TP +.B URL_http = /usr/bin/mozilla %u +Using this, entering "http://www.slashdot.org" will run '/usr/bin/mozilla http://slashdot.org'. +.TP +gmrun may also strip the protocol and colon away from the entered URL before passing it to the defined program. For example: +.TP +.B URL_mailto = mutt %s +Using this, entering "mailto:david@eelf.ddts.net" will run the command 'mutt david@eelf.ddts.net' +.TP +The included configuration files has a few examples which you can work with. You should also note that the protocol part of URL_protocol can be *anything*. You can set up "URL_foobarbazcustom", and so long as you enter in "foobarbazcustom:<whatever>", it will use the given program.
