NAME

6       fbrun - display run dialog window
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fbrun [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       fbrun(1) is basically equivalent to the “Run...” dialog in other
13       desktop environments. This means that it is an easy way to start a
14       program that isn’t contained in the menu (or needs a special set of
15       parameters for this particular invocation).
16
17       Pressing “Enter” will close the window and execute the command in your
18       present $SHELL. Pressing “Esc” will close the window and does not
19       execute anything.
20
21       Another way fbrun can be useful is to be called from the menu with a
22       preloaded command line that you can edit and then execute. An example
23       might be sshing to a very long host name with lots of options of which
24       one changes all the time. In this case, you could add an entry for
25       fbrun to your menu that contains all the options and the host name.
26       When you use said entry, you could edit the line as necessary and
27       execute it.
