Has scroll been removed from statuscmd patch? #277

Closed UtkarshVerma closed 2 years ago

UtkarshVerma commented 2 years ago

I just noticed that scroll functionality was not working for my statusbar while click was. I use dwmblocks-async and am pretty sure everything is fine there.

I also checked emitted signals using strace -e 'trace=!all' ./dwmblocks and I could only see signals being sent for click events.

What does the statuscmd patch have to do with status scrolling? The scrolling aspect would be handled entirely by the external program.

As I mentioned, scroll events are not being signalled by dwm to the statusbar application. Could you please verify this once?

I figured it out. I had to define bindings for Button4 and Button5 in config.h. https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/blob/5f7df0b0dc78ae00f21d5bbe892456c450506b9b/config.def.h#L1308

Sorry for the trouble.

Oh right, I misunderstood what you meant. This is related to using the mouse scroll wheel for sending click signals to dwmblocks.

By scroll I though you were referring to status scrolling similar to how marquee was a popular internet site feature back in 1996.
