## Desktop and Window Decorations

|
||||
### Creating desktop shortcuts
|
||||
|
||||
Enter Ratpoison Mode with `@RATPOISONKEY@`, then press `Control` + `Alt` + `d`. Choose **Add from Clipboard**, **Browse for File**, **Browse for Folder**, or **Search for Application**. Copy one item at a time. You can also enter a path such as `/usr/bin/firefox` or `~/Documents`, a program name, or a complete HTTP/HTTPS URL in the Target field and press Enter.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Shortcut name** edit box contains a suggested name. For a web link, I38 looks up the page title, using the hostname if the title is unavailable. Edit the name if desired, then press **Create Shortcut** to confirm. Nothing is written until you confirm, and a late page title never replaces your edits. Use **Run program in a terminal** for command-line programs. Folders open in your selected file manager; files and web links use their default applications. Application shortcuts preserve the original launcher settings and require that original launcher to remain available. Repeated names receive numbered filenames. Deleting a created shortcut removes only the shortcut.
|
||||
|
||||
### Desktop navigation
|
||||
|
||||
I38 uses minimal window decorations. Windows do not use the usual title bars with minimize and maximize buttons. Instead, windows fill their available space automatically, and most interactions are performed through keyboard shortcuts.
|
||||
|
||||
`@MODKEY@` + `Control` + `d`: Open the I38 Desktop dialog. Use Up and Down to move through items, hold Shift with Up or Down to select multiple items, and press Control+Space to clear the selection. Type to search, press Enter to open the focused item, or press Shift+F10 for a context menu. Escape clears an active search and returns to the list; press it again to close the dialog. Right-click opens the context menu without clearing selected items. Delete permanently removes selected desktop files or folders after confirmation, including the contents of selected folders. Shortcut entries are kept. Use Tab and Shift+Tab to reach the search field and buttons.<br>
