FVWM: Re: controlling the pointer

Thanks,

But what if I wanted to control pointer movement through the keyboard?

In particular I would like to use my keypad to move the pointer.

This is possible, and I don't know whether the window manager has anything

to do with this at all, but I recall that Red Hat Linux 4.2 made it possible

to do this under Fvwm2. The way the Red Hat guys had it configured was that

when you pressed "Num Lock" or "Ins" on the keypad or sth like that the pointer

could be moved vi the keypad with the buttons 1,2,3,4,6,7,8, and 9. 5 did

something like click or toggle mouse functionality and keypad functionality.

I can't remember the details but I know it's possible because I've seen it work.

I have asked about this before but nobody was able to give an answer.

Perhaps this time, someone will give me a hint as to where to look.

TIA,

Neil

redhat 4.2 having that configuration (as an option)
