6 fbrun - display run dialog window
7
9 fbrun [options]
10
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.
