What I would like to be able to do is select a window from the keyboard
in a way very similar to searching for text in a browser: hit a key
combination, start typing the name of a window (maybe with some sort of
tab completion), and then when enough of the name has been typed, hit
return to deiconify and focus on the window.
I can see how to do this with some external tools that I have lying
around[*], but I was wondering if there's already some obvious and
straightforward way to do this in fvwm that I should be using instead.
Thanks in advance (and my apologies if this is a common question).
(For my purposes I don't care which window is picked if the name is
not unique. If there are four windows named 'local', either any one
of them will do or it's my fault.)

[*: dmenu, http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/, will let you autocomplete
text selections from a big list that you feed to it on standard
input and dump the result to standard output. So I'm planning to
wrap it in a script that feeds it a list of window names obtained
from somewhere, then use, eg, FvwmCommand to tell fvwm to Focus
whatever is the selected window name.]
