Mabox 26.03 – Conky improvements, TODOlist and keyboard shortcuts

The March release of Mabox 26.03 brings improvements to Conky support, a new tool for managing task lists, and easier previewing and editing of keyboard shortcuts

Conky handling improvements

You can set a simplified context menu for Conky—without several advanced functions.
The Conky Widget Manager W‑A‑k allows you to completely disable Conky’s clickable features – both for left-click (custom commands) and right-click (context menu). You can still manage individual widget settings using the Conky Manager.

The default Conky widget, sysinfo (in the upper right corner), now shows the battery charge level.

TODO list

A brand new Mabox tool…
A collection of tools for managing simple task lists.
It contains a CLI, dynamic menu, and conky widget.
It is built on the todo.sh script of todotxt.org with some improvements added:

• multiple task lists
• handy dynamic menu
• Conky widget with easy filter
• Notes for each task list – cherry tree (optional)
• customizable menu part for each task list (optional)

Start TODOlist dynamic menu Wed and play with it 🙂

Keyboard shortcuts

An improved window showing the currently configured keyboard shortcuts.
This is available by clicking on the Conky widget with keyboard shortcuts – in the lower left corner of the screen.
Besides providing a quick overview, you can launch the editor from there and reload the Openbox configuration for any changes you’ve made to take effect.
