Authors

       This manpage was originally written by Bastian Kleineidam <calvin at debian.org> for the Debian
       distribution of fluxbox (but may be used by others).

       It was then converted to asciidoc format by Jim Ramsay <i.am at jimramsay.com> for fluxbox-1.1.2

Description

fbrun(1) is basically equivalent to the “Run...” dialog in other desktop environments. This means that it
       is an easy way to start a program that isn’t contained in the menu (or needs a special set of parameters
       for this particular invocation).

       Pressing “Enter” will close the window and execute the command in your present $SHELL. Pressing “Esc”
       will close the window and does not execute anything.

       Another way fbrun can be useful is to be called from the menu with a preloaded command line that you can
       edit and then execute. An example might be sshing to a very long host name with lots of options of which
       one changes all the time. In this case, you could add an entry for fbrun to your menu that contains all
       the options and the host name. When you use said entry, you could edit the line as necessary and execute
       it.
