You can choose from sloppy focus , click focus & auto raise in the config menu. You can also hand edit your menu so you can have things one click / two click away ie putting things commonly used in the root of the menu rather than in accessories -> internet -> etc. you'll find the blackbox menu in /usr/X11R6/share/Blackbox/menu or you can sepcify your own custom menu in your .blackbox.rc Cheers, Mark On Sun, 8 Apr 2001 17:20:38 -0500, Lute Mullenix said: > On Sun, Apr 08, 2001 at 08:19:45AM -0500, Mark Sergeant wrote: > > I am not sure of ALT-TAB in twm but in Blackbox using bbkeys it is easy to > > program keys to do whatever you like.
