showbar - bakkeby/dusk GitHub Wiki

The showbar function enables the display of the bar for the current monitor.

This is a special function which combined with the hidebar function can be used for setups where the bar is hidden by default, but is only shown for as long as a key or key combination is held down.

Note that the showbar function will only have an effect if the bar is not already shown. When activated it will put the bar in a state where it can be hidden again using the hidebar function.

This is to avoid the bar unintentionally being hidden when it is intentionally enabled using the togglebar function.

The initshowbar configuration item in config.h can be used to hide the bars on startup.

static const int initshowbar = 0;   /* 0 means no bar */

There are no default keybindings for this function.

External command:

duskc run_command showbar  # enable display of the bar for the current monitor
