Hallo,

Thank you for your advice, i inserted the lines


###################### Key and mouse bindings
##########################M
# Format:M
# Key keyname context modifiers functionM
# Mouse button context modifiers functionM
# ------- ------- --------- --------M
# | |M
# | |- A = AnyM
# | |- C = ControlM
# | |- M = Meta (Esc or Alt)M
# | |- N = NoneM
# | |- S = ShiftM
# |M
# |- 0-9 = Title bar buttons [1 3 5 7 9 0 8 6 4 2]M
# |- A = Any except buttonsM
# |- F = Frame cornersM
# |- I = IconM
# |- R = Root windowM
# |- S = Sides, top, bottomM
# |- T = Title barM
# |- W = Application windowM
M
# Alt-tab for next window [like CDE]M
Key Tab A M Next [*] FocusM
Key Tab A SM Prev [*] FocusM
M
# Alt-F4 to close current window [like CDE]M
Key 5 A M CloseM
M
# Alt-1 through Alt-4 for changing desktopsM
Key 1 A M Desk 0 0M
Key 2 A M Desk 0 1M
Key 3 A M Desk 0 2M
Key 4 A M Desk 0 3M


into system.fvwmrc and alt 1,2,3,4 switch between Desks, and alt-tab
between windows. and i binded alt -5 to close a window.

But, somehow, on the console appears following error text:

fvwm: bad key function: Next in line Key Tab A M Next [*]
Focus
fvwm: bad key function: Prev in line Key Tab A SM Prev [*]
Focus
fvwm: bad key function: Next in line Key Tab A M Next [*]
Focus
fvwm: bad key function: Prev in line Key Tab A SM Prev [*]
Focus

though bindings work ?

It is puzzling, isnt it?

Thanks all the same, now it is a lot comfortable to toil around :)
I promise not to bother you people for quite a some time.

PS

As you have perceived i am not a born english-speaker and in Estonia we
have a spell (or is it a curse) on our nation:

we have common letters like this: õöäü ÕÖÄÜ - it is most probably
clutter on your screen :)

But the point is that somebody told me to experiment with keykodes with
the X-program xev - x event.

So i put following lines into my /var/X11R6/lib/xinit/.Xmodmap

keycode 22 = BackSpace
keycode 21 = grave
keycode 49 = asciitilde

(other definitons could be probaby found in
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h in my case - Slackware 3.4)

If you find it useful too, i am gled. My borrowed two cents, maybe,
maybe not.

And if somebody knows a place where to LEARN how an character is taken
from a keybouard and is put onto a screen (be it termnal or X terminal)
i would be most greatful. Just to try and err is human but .... sad.
