#275634 — Option menuSearch in fluxbox init

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi folks. There's an option in fluxbox that enables some fuzzy search on fluxbox menu. It's enabled changing fluxbox's init in that way:
session.menuSearch: itemstart
To
session.menuSearch: somewhere
That said, it's not working on Debian 12.8, although it's working in MX Linux Fluxbox version which is supposed to be based on Debian Stable.
How is that possible? Aren't they the same version?

I recommend to build from *Debian* sources (trixie) since there is an 
important "replace_FbRootWindow_depth_with_maxDepth.patch".
For my own build I have an extra patch that focuses window on any button 
click, not just left one.

sudo apt build-dep fluxbox
sudo apt install devscripts debian-keyring

# alternatively add deb-src for trixie
dget 'http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fluxbox/fluxbox_1.3.7-1.dsc'
dpkg-source -x fluxbox_1.3.7-1.dsc
cd fluxbox-1.3.7/
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
debuild -- binary
