Hello Thomas Adam! >> I tried to stop FireFox from acting on [...] C-q [...] >> Key (Firefox*) Q A C Nop > As a general rule, don't use a glob-pattern here, use the window > class. You mean, what FvwmIdent(1) tells as ``Class''? So it would have been Key (Firefox) Q A C Nop without the ``*'', am I right?

As I said (let me correct ``(Firefox*)'' to ``(Firefox)''): >> To see the real behaviour I changed that to: >> Key (Firefox) Q A C Exec exec xterm and FireFox /did/ react as I wanted it to (as described in my last mail) as it did not receive the C-q command but fvwm started an xterm instead. What you mentioned seems to be the problem with >> Key Q A C Exec exec FvwmCommand 'FakeKeypress modifiers 8 press q' and programs like e.g., ``git gui'' or ``Thunderbird''. As I had been warned in the manual page of fvwm2(1) that FakeKeypress might not work with all applications, I was not too surprised. But the point remains, that: Key (Firefox*) Q A C - Key Q A C - Key (Firefox) Q A C Exec exec xterm does change the behaviour of e.g., ``git gui'' or ``Thunderbird'' by not quitting when receiving C-q anymore and reacting properly again after we add: Key (Firefox) Q A C - >> fvwm 2.7.0 compiled on Jun 4 2011 at 19:28:23 [...] > Use FVWM 2.6.1, please. 2.7.0 doesn't technically exist anymore. Are you kidding me? 2.7.0 is older than 2.6.1??? Who should suspect such a thing? And the news[1] page tells us: ---SCHNIPP--- news[1] Changes in beta release 2.7.1 (not yet released) Changes in beta release 2.7.0 (15-Apr-2011) Changes in stable release 2.6.1 (16-Apr-2011) ---schnapp--- I would have assumed, that 2.6.1 is (as told there) the stable version, and 2.7.0 is the current beta, and 2.7.1 is the future beta version. I am confused! One should note such things on the news[1] page! :-( (BTW: on other machine using 2.5.31, no time to update yet: same behaviour about the threads original matter here) Regards, Kalten [1] http://www.fvwm.org/news/ -- fvwm 2.5.31 compiled on Apr 10 2011 at 16:51:28 (ReadLine, XPM, PNG, SVG, Shape, XShm, SM, Xinerama, XRender, XFT)
