Variables

The Desktop sets some variables when a trigger occurs. You can use these in rule files to find out what was triggered and how it was triggered.

You can also trigger things using commands, just as if the user had performed the appropriate action. The same variables are set in this case.

The following sections describe the circumstances under which these variables are set:

• ``Click or hold''

• ``Drag''

• ``Menu selection''

• trigger, d_desktop, s_desktop, d_position, s_position, dynamic_args, and static_arg in the deskshell(XC) manual page
