fuzzylizard Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 If you go into configure desktop, one of the tabs has the option for showing the run option in the menu. If you do a search of the forums, you will find a thread that contains the exact directions for reinstating the run option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anon Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Fahd does not want to add it to the "K" menu, but to the right click mouse menu, where it used to be. Sorry fahd, i don't know how to edit the right click menu either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 i'm not at the Linux box right now (work..... ) but, to edit/manipulate the KDE right click menu, i'ts something like this........... KCC->look & feel->behaviour....... or KCC->desktop->behaviour......... i know it's one of those , or in KCC->look & feel somewhere. once you find the right click options in there, you need to disable the predefined KDE right click options & then you'll be able to create your own in the same area.

Guest anon Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Thanks, I found out how to add a custom right click menu but not how to edit or add to any of the right click menu's from the drop down list. Though i never used the "run command" that Fahd is looking to add, i do remember it being there in previous versions. It seems a bit long winded to create a whole new right click menu, just to add one app. There must be a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 hmmmm........ if nobody figures it out by the time i get home from work tonight, i'll give it a looksee & post back with what i came up with. (damn Windows at work....) Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Don't know if this will help but Alt + F2 brings up the run command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 just to let ya's know, i haven't found an easy way to manipulate the right click menu.....yet. :unsure: i've searched high & low, to no avail. i'm thinking there has to be some kind of text/conf file somehwere for those options & all you'd have to do is edit it. just haven't stumbled upon that mystery file. if i do come up with an answer (if there is an answer) i'll be sure to post it here.

Chris Thanks. I guessed one of the .config files need editing, but there's quite a few in the Dir, and no hint as to which one it might be. Maybe when i have more time i will go through them one by one till i find the damn thing. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 i looked through quite a few config files last night just for the challenge and didn't find it. I was in suse9 though that shouldn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 (edited) If I undertsand Anon correctly. This is where I added the run command. Right click start apllications. panel menu. configure panel. Edited December 19, 2003 by Floyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 floyd........ we're trying to figure out if you can add "run" to the right click menu, not to the kicker menu. ya know, like if you right click a file or your desktop & one of the drop down options would be run. on that note, no luck here so far either. i also looked through many files in $/.kde/share/config but i haven't seen anything that will let you manipulate right click commands. maybe you just can't. again, if i do find a way, i'll post it here..........

Darkelve Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 (edited) Since this is strictly a KDE issue, maybe it would be best to search for further help from one of these resources: http://www.kde.org/info/faq.php#KDE of these all, especially the mailing list sounds like a promising avenue to me. Edit: they said try to search this first: http://lists.kde.org/ Edit 2: I searched that list. Is it possible they call it the 'context menu'? If so, it could give better results than 'right-click menu' when searching. Edited December 19, 2003 by Darkelve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 (edited) Maybe this!? http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tut...rvicemenus.html Edit 3: I did some more research and found that the official name for this window is: "desktop context menu" Try this: http://lists.kde.org/?w=2&r=1&s=desktop+co...ontext+menu&q=t hope I could help set you on your way....
