Hello Ropers I do use it to the point that i can not stand another WM, to answer your question: you could launch apps by (a) installing dmenu(1) (b) $firefox & (c) i kind of wrote a script that does what dmenu but using sh. (d) configuring &HOME/.fvwmrc to use shortcuts or a menu. ( https://github.com/solisman/termenu)
