# Wing Menu is an alternative menu plugin for [lxqt-panel](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-panel) (Updated for LXQt 2.0)

It has two columns instead of the "classic menu" and was inspired by Xfce's [Whisker Menu](https://docs.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/start)

Can be activated via D-Bus `qdbus org.lxqt.panel.wingmenu /wingmenu toggle` (or wingmenu2, wingmenu3, etc). Exact command is available in the Settings window.

NOTE: If the D-Bus command is set as a global shortcut, the menu might block the detection of the shortcut when it's open, so it might not work for hiding it (Esc or F1-F12 will hide it).

If everything was successful, you should have a new plugin ready to be added to your panel, named `Wing Menu (wingmenu)`.
