Aw, hell no. The icons killed my accelerators. Is there a fix?

Never mind, found it. I'll post it after I finish and check everything.

Showing the Alt key pressed and mouse-hover...

I'd love to see what it looks like with the form contents aligned left, but I am utterly failing. Help!

I'm starting to think that the form buttons can only be center justified text. I searched for a while and every example of a yad form was like that.

hhh · 2019-03-01 22:02:05

Damn. Close enough to what I envisioned, though, I can certainly live with this. It has everything you need, and it's fast, simple, pretty damn easy to customize and pretty!

@Bearded_Blunder, thanks again! This is a great contribution, and an unexpected one at that.

hhh · 2019-03-01 22:04:37

I'm guessing the "solution" would be to not use a form and script individual buttons instead?

Yes, but that may be restricted to horizontal. Although, I suspect you can script xy offsets.

Well played.

You left out keyboard accelerators, or am I mistaken? But something like this is all that's needed, right? Not tested...

--field="!$BTN_LOGOUT!_Log out!":fbtn 'bash -c "logoutctl terminate-session"' \

Nah, you need text for accelerators. It's easy enough to tab or arrow to the icon you want though.

Indeed we are, this thread has been productive! My lithium install is a dual session with my earlier KDE buster one. I've barely booted into Plasma in the last month and haven't missed it once, lithium is that good.

Roger that, a trade-off for eye-candy.

^ By now, for shutdown my muscle-memory goes "Super-x, right, right, right, enter"

I should have put it there to start with, it ties it to the same key I'm used to with a command line launch to reboot bl-exit -b

I do occasionally do other stuff besides complain

I like it, puts a bl "trademark" back I'm afraid that I've little clue with yad.

Starting to feel much more sanguine about the change, pleased you guys seem to like my little contribution.

I'd love to see what it looks like with the form contents aligned left, but I am utterly failing. Help!

*I can't test this* (owing to not having a numberpad & the 255 has to be done on the numpad) but *try* making all the text fields match in length using alt+255 "non-breaking" spaces, they'll be handled differently from regular spaces. I think it's alt+255 been a while since I had a numberpad & used those odd characters that way...

If that works but isn't perfect, you might need to tell yad some monospaced font so all characters occupy the same width.

Update, it's a yukky font but you wanted to see what left justified looks like:

yad --form --columns 1 --width=130 --title "Exit" --borders=7 --class=WmanExit --window-icon=gnome-logout \
16                        --no-buttons --undecorated --center --on-top \
17                        --field="<span font='Liberation Mono'>Log Out  </span>!gnome-logout!_Logout":fbtn 'bash -c "logoutctl terminate-session"' \
18                        --field="<span font='Liberation Mono'>Suspend  </span>!gnome-session-suspend!_Suspend":fbtn 'bash -c "logoutctl suspend"' \
19                        --field="<span font='Liberation Mono'>Reboot   </span>!system-reboot!Re_boot":fbtn 'bash -c "logoutctl reboot"' \
20                        --field="<span font='Liberation Mono'>Shut Down</span>!gnome-shutdown!_Power Off":fbtn 'bash -c "logoutctl poweroff"' \
21                        | grep -v "|" &
22                    exit 0

That's using plain ordinary spaces. Works even better if you start from the block with the accelerators in the right field 8)

Uh, like? It's our bl-exit replacement, buddy, with full credit to you! The only reason I haven't marked this thread [SOLVED] is that we're still cookin' with fire.

Sorry to be nostalgic, but this thread is the best of what #! forums were and BL forums are.

hhh · 2019-03-02 11:30:53

We'll have to name it something other than bl-exit, since that package already exists. Suggestions? BB-exit? blunder-exit? @Bearded, it's your script, you get to name it.

Bearded_Blunder · 2019-03-02 11:35:17

Whatever you like, yeah I see bunsen-exit exists as a package & it can't clash, I'd been thinking of it as bunsen-exityad becomes clear from the name what the interface is.

damo · 2019-03-02 11:41:51

I'm in the process of making the script more modular, with drop-in vars for the dialogs. That should make it easier to have a variety of options and styles just from script parameters, without hard-coding every possible dialog. (I may need an associative array specialist like @johnraff for that though 8o )

blexit?
