Package: fvwm2 Version: 2.0.46-BETA-3 Severity: wishlist I propose to add the description of the respective function keys to the "Window Ops" Menu (the menu that apears when you klick on the left upper corner of a window). The reason for this is manyfold:
- One doesn't have any refernce of what a key combination produces. One can only go by trial and error to find out what a key does (or one can look it up in /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc, but hey, why need to open that file every time?). - Since the key-combinations are counterintuitive (for me intuitive is what windows has), one often forgets them. When manipulating the window with the mouse, this way one gets to see the key-bindings and is better able to remember them. An indication of how few people use the bindings is maybe the fact that a few of the bindings don't even work or don't have any effect (at least here): Alt-F5 (CirculateUp), Alt-F4 (CirculateDown), Alt-F2 (MainWindow). So this is a proposition, it is a small change of /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc that makes the binding diplay in the Window-Ops window: An indication of how few people use the bindings is maybe the fact that a few of the bindings don't even work or don't have any effect (at least here): Alt-F5 (CirculateUp), Alt-F4 (CirculateDown), Alt-F2 (MainWindow).
