<h2>Thinkvantage button in DWM</h2>

<h4>Putting the Thinkvantage button to use</h4>
<p><img src="/images/blog/thinkvantage.png" alt="thinkvantage button"></p>
<p>On my Thinkpad X220 there's a blue Thinkvantage button that only gets used when the machine boots to select different options.</p>
<p>Using xev the button is referenced as XF86XK_Launch1, here I use it to run a rofi menu for logging out, shutting down, rebooting, etc.</p>
<p><b>dwm/config.h</b></p>
<pre>
...
{ 0,            XF86XK_Launch1,            spawn,          SHCMD("rofi -show power-menu -modi power-menu:rofi-power-menu") },
...
</pre>
<p>power-menu <a href="https://github.com/jluttine/rofi-power-menu">can be found here</a></p>
