Here is a list of available Fluxbox commands/actions.
These commands are not the same as the shell commands
entered into a "run" dialog such as fbrun. They are
instead commands built into fluxbox to accomplish tasks
which may not be available from the menu. Some can be
typed into the Fluxbox command dialog, and some can be
bound to a keystroke in ~/.fluxbox/keys. At this time
I'm not sure which are which in all cases. My guess is
actions relating to window manipulation don't work from
command dialog or menu, since they require window focus.
What I do know is that prior to 0.9 commands were used
only in keybindings.
Hint: bind ":commanddialog" to a key for easy access to
commands (running it from the menu fails to give focus
to the dialog box).
As far as I know, these commands are not case-sensitive.
In other words, "reloadstyle" can be used instead of
"ReloadStyle", and "wOrksPacEmenU" also works.
This should not be considered a complete list.
