Q1; When I click middle mouse at root windows I get a great menu for travelling between apps, I want this menu to come to me everywhere I click, including inside firefox. How can I set such anywhere hotkey ? I checked the rc file but there lots of place specific hotkey setups but I didn't see an anywhere setup.
Q2; Is there any way to have a two colon launcher menu at normal left clicks?
Q3: Is it possible to set openbox to open two menus at one click, like when I click I get launch menu at the right of the mouse and travel menu at left at it?
Q4: can I define other menus to launch with other buttons, like a menu full of graphics stuff, a menu full of net stuff(not submenus or pipemenus, real menus)
Thanks!

Hello!
A1:
I use this:
<keyboard>
...
<keybind key="A-F1">
<action name="ShowMenu">
<menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu>
</action>
</keybind>
...
</keyboard>
inside the ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml file.
What it does is that when I press Alt+F1, it shows the window switching menu.
You can use anything in place of "A-F1".
A2 and A3:
I tried opening 2 menus at once (that would be similiar to 2 columns), binding double actions to the right click, but it didn't work, sorry.
A4:
Yes, you can!
Check the code above, simply change the menu name between the <menu> tags and the keybind. Menu names are defined in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml in <menu> tags, the names are in 'id="menu_name"' format.
For example, in the menu.xml file you'd have:
<openbox_menu>
...
<menu id="graphics-apps" label="Graphics">
<item label="The GIMP">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify><enabled>yes</enabled></startupnotify>
<command>gimp</command>
</action>
</item>
</menu>
...
</openbox_menu>
and in rc.xml:
<keyboard>
...
<keybind key="A-F4">
<action name="ShowMenu">
<menu>graphics-apps</menu>
</action>
</keybind>
...
</keyboard>
Note that <keyboard> and <openbox_menu> already exist and must not be added again.
It should work.
If anything was unclear, feel free to ask. I'm usually not good at explaining things.
