I use diamond-q with the following two .fvwmrc key bindings. The line
with the 'M3' modifier is to catch the case when the NumLock key has
been pressed (i.e. mod3). To be noted are the lower case q's used in the
definition; upper case won't work.
 
Key q FTIWS M Close
Key q FTIWS M3 Close

Yes, this should be lower left corner. It does the same thing on my
systems, but changing the '-0' to '-1' mysteriously makes it work!! Could
be a bug?

Hmmm, all arrow keys work fine in all my applications. Check out the
ICCCM COMPLIANCE section of the fvwm man page and the 'Lenience' style.
I don't know anything about this one, but it may be related. Or, are the
arrow keys simply re-mapped to do something else??

Hope this helps.
