Many, many Thanks. It's exactly what I need.
Let me describe my configuration if it can helps someone, in ~/.Xmodmap
I've the following lines :
keycode 108 = Menu
clear mod4
add mod4 = Super_L Super_R
keycode 64 = Mode_switch
keycode 22 = BackSpace VoidSymbol Delete VoidSymbol
keycode 98 = Up Up Prior Prior VoidSymbol VoidSymbol VoidSymbol VoidSymbol
keycode 100 = Left Right Home Home VoidSymbol VoidSymbol VoidSymbol VoidSymbol
keycode 102 = Right Right End End VoidSymbol VoidSymbol VoidSymbol VoidSymbol
keycode 104 = Down Down Next Next VoidSymbol VoidSymbol VoidSymbol VoidSymbol
Alt+arrow (up, left, right, down) generates (Prior, Home, End, Next)
And in .fvwmrc2 I've :
Key Menu A N Popup rootmenu
Key Prior M A MenuMoveCursor -1
Key Next M A MenuMoveCursor 1
Key EndM A MenuCursorRight
Key Home M A MenuCursorLeft
With this configuration Up, Down, Left, Right work again in menu and I
can navigate again through menus only with keys: Menu, arrows and
escape/enter.
It's really impressive how fvwm is "flexible".
The fvwm's manpage is very long and I spent a lot of time trying to
do it, a big thank you for your help.
Michel.
