  I just use fvwm menu for this task: Ctrl-Menu open a menu, and then
  I can select menu items by hotkeys. For me this looks like emacs
  keybindings, for example, I close window with Ctrl-Menu, then w,
  then c:

----8<----------------------------------------
AddToMenu WindowMenu
+ "&Close" Close

AddToMenu MainFvwmMenu
+ "&Window menu" Popup WindowMenu

Key Menu A C Menu MainFvwmMenu nop
------------------------------------------>8---

  But this method is not work for keybindings like Ctrl-Menu Ctrl-e
  Alt-w, because fvwm do not support modificators for menu hotkeys
  (fix me if I wrong).



  Also you can try to use something external program like epist
  (http://icculus.org/openbox/2/epist.php) from Openbox2 - this
  program support "true" a-la emacs keybindings.

  I.e. in fvwm you not describe no one keybindings (this mean you must
  unset default keybindings too), in epist you describe all needed
  keybindings. FvwmCommand help you translate commands from epist to
  fvwm.

  But how it will work with fvwm I don't know. :)
