On first load you get ~/.config/jgmenu/jgmenurc with only stay alive turned off by me. This means menu will exit gracefully. How to use ########## KB=keyboard menu can be used as a cascading menu = normal or by inputting keys which automatically converts to search mode. On first load you also get ~/.local/bin/pointer command KB shortcut is easier, I show the terminal command first run $ pointer #--- do not press enter yet. Move your cursor to a position on the screen you prefer. This will be where the "normal" menu top left hand corner appears. Press enter in the terminal -> cascading "normal" menu appears 2) If your desktop supports KB shortcuts create an unused one to launch pointer eg on icewm key "Alt+b" pointer 3) If you have a lot of apps loaded, mouse may be faster but you can go into search mode by typing executable name Typing unknown value will report empty list 4) eg inputting cp (for cpanel) brings up one hit=Control Panel but to bring up apps...use pp as inputting ap fails for me. YMMV KB hints---assuming no mouse detected etc ######### However you launch jgmenu, when menu appears, without a mouse you need to get "focus" into that menu. This how I do it ...press the space key so menu goes into search mode and reports "empty list" (Of course you can start typing the executable name too here) Next press Escape....which takes you from search mode to normal mode. Now you can use down arrow to navigate down thru the menus or right arrow to peek into each menu and use left arrow to come back If you see your target press enter against it. Pressing ESCAPE when you are in "normal" menu mode will exit the menu ... no matter where you are in the menu Change-log: 2026/10/19 v 4.7.0 on 17x Current: 2026/10/19 ' > $P.tcz.info readelf -d $P/usr/local/bin/* | grep 'NEEDED' #libX11.so.6]libX11 #libXrandr.so.2]libXrandr #libpng16.so.16]libpng #libpangocairo-1.0.so.0]#libpango-1.0.so.0]pango #libgobject-2.0.so.0]#libglib-2.0.so.0]glib2 #libharfbuzz.so.0]harfbuzz #libcairo.so.2] cairo pango readelf -d $P/usr/local/lib/$P/* | grep 'NEEDED' # ignore sh script errors reported # libxml2.so.2 libxml2 echo 'libxml2.tcz libXrandr.tcz pango.tcz ' > $P.tcz.dep submitqc --libs rm -rf *.zsync
