Adding Run-menu-item in Debian/WindowMaker

Debian has its own way of handling menues for installed programs. If you want to go with this but add your own custom menues you add your menues in ~/.menu/.

Create a file with this line in ~/.menu/.

?package(local.run):needs=x11 section=Misc title="Run" command="%a(Run,Command to run:)" shortcut="Mod1+F2"

Then do:

update-menus

Then restart windowmaker and you will have the shortcut Mod1+F2 for running progs.
