I have the following in .fvwmrc which does this for Alt-j and Alt-k
(vi-like commands...):

Key j A 4 Next [CurrentDesk] Function GoThere
Key k A 4 Prev [CurrentDesk] Function GoThere

The built-in window list does this quite nicely. I use Alt-m:

Key m A 4 WindowList

Please note that you may have to change the modifier. On my keyboard,
the Alt key is mod4. On a PC keyboard, the Alt key is probably Meta,
I guess.
