setstatus

Function	Expected argument	Default keybinding
setstatus	<int> <text>	N/A

The setstatus function is used externally to set custom status information on the bar.

It is a special case that requires more than one parameter, one indicating which status to update and a second argument for the text.

This function can not be used internally within the window manager and as such there are no default keybindings.

External commands:

$ duskc run_command setstatus 0 "hello world"  # sets status 0 to "hello world"
$ duskc run_command setstatus 9 "$(date +%T)"  # sets status 9 to the current time
