Hello Thomas Adam! > I'm sorry, but you're not being clear enough about what's wrong, and > what you expect. Oh---sorry: as you are likely to have noticed, I am not of English origin. Please be patient again; I will try to explain it in short and---as I hope---more clearly:
I want FireFox to ignore C-q. I used Key (Firefox) Q A C Exec exec xterm to achieve that. It works fine: C-q is not passed through to FireFox any more. Now to the thing that does not work any more after this command: Although C-q has been changed for FireFox only, it has a side effect on other programs as well (and I am pretty sure that that is an error). The side effect is as follows: e.g. ``git gui'' or ``thunderbird'' do not react in the proper way (quitting) any more, when they have the focus, and one hits C-q. (At ``git gui'' one can see some flickering in the text field for the commit message) > Do you really mean to clear the binding with "-", or do you really > want to try and pass the key event through to the application to > handle instead with "--"? I looked this up in the manual page fvwm2(1). According to it, ``This is only a valid action for window-specific bindings''. Tried it out, and it needs some ``(blaaa)''. Key (*) Q A C -- Does not change the behaviour in the right way: If I use the sequence Key (Firefox) Q A C Exec exec xterm Key (*) Q A C -- Even FireFox does not react on C-q, and does not receive it at all---just flicker like ``git gui'' (as described earlier here). If I use the sequence Key (*) Q A C -- Key (Firefox) Q A C Exec exec xterm No change to not using ``--'' at all. > That's what I assumed you meant before -- which won't work, due to the > reasons I outlined before.

That I do understand. > To automate this more, here's what you could try: [...] *huch* I will look into that---not so easy for me ;-) As I see it, the following does work as I want it too: DestroyModuleConfig A:* *A: focus_change SomeFunction AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmEvent A DestroyFunc SomeFunction AddToFunc SomeFunction + I ThisWindow (!"Firefox") Key Q A C - + I TestRc (NoMatch) Key Q A C Exec exec xterm It seems to send C-q to every window that does not match the Class ``Firefox'', and at FireFox it starts the xterm ;-) (to be changed from ``Exec exec xterm'' to ``Nop'') But why does this work differently to just using the command: Key (Firefox) Q A C Exec exec xterm ??? It seems to me, that it should act in the equal way! >> [2.7.0 is older than 2.6.1 but news[1] sounds different] > It's autogenerated, so no. The download links for it have been > removed. Oh. May I suggest to correct that in the news[1] in some way? Thank you very much for your help! Now I know the mechanism to do exactly what I wanted to achieve :-) Greetings, 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)
