Good morning,

thanks to the new SendToModule command and some GREAT support added to
FvwmIconMan, I can have the function I most sorely missed from *twm: I
can now move up and down in the icon manager with the keyboard.
Here's what I have in my .fvwm2rc file (snarfed right out of the man
page for FvwmIconMan, modified slightly):

Key j A 3 SendToModule FvwmIconMan sendcommand focus focus + 1 Focus
Key k A 3 SendToModule FvwmIconMan sendcommand focus focus - 1 Focus

I'm a nasty boy now: I'm still not quite satisfied. When I hit, say,
Alt-j, the window below the current window in the icon manager is
given focus. The *twm icon managers allowed me to define one key to
move among the windows and another to specify one. (Move the
selection up and down the icon manager -- WITHOUT any window being
raised or deiconified or anything -- and then hit a special key to
deiconify, raise and warp to the window currently pointed to.)

Is there anything I can do to achieve the same behavior with
FvwmIconMan?

Thanks a lot for this feature as it is, though, it's great!
kai
