According to fvwm(1) QUOTING section I don't need quote characters in: Style "*" ... Style "emacs" ... Style "mc-*" ...
and this snippet can be rewritten as: Style * ... Style emacs ... Style mc-* ... The only thing why quotes is useful - syntax hilighting in Emacs fvwm-mode so second word in: Style "emacs" StartsOnPage 2 0 0 look highlighted if in quotes. http://www.fvwm.org/documentation/faq/ usually doesn't use quotes for Style except a few times. FVWM-Crystal and Fvwm-Nightshade avoid quote characters at all for Style... Is quotes good practice or better to avoid them? Do * and ? preserve their special meaning in quoted string for Style (I guess so as practice shown)? -- Best regards!
