Xfce

In preparation for some other documentation that I am currently working on, I "accidentally" managed to build a page of Xfce keyboard shortcuts for the xfwm4 window manager and some default application shortcuts.

Perhaps you will find it useful.

This project is created for use with the xfce desktop environment, and the mpv media player.

With the use of the Generic Monitor panel plugin, it displays scrolling the name of the file or the stream playing with mpv.

If another instance of mpv starts playing, genmon-mpv will display the most recently opened title of file/stream.

As soon as an mpv instance displayed is closed, and another previous instance is still open, genmon-mpv will display the title of the still open file/stream.

This project is consisted of two scripts, one in bash, and one in lua. Any feedback is most welcome.

The article, for some reason, links to the goodies.xfce.org site which has been deprecated since 2019. The correct, current link for Thunar plugin documentation is https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/start#thunar_plugins Enjoy!
