well,
i found a way to achieve what i wanted in regards to fvwm. Looking
thru the fvwm archives, i found a msg from 1996, from Andrew Eskilsson,
mentioning that fvwm will recognize a modifier which has been added
thru xmodmap.
thus, now i have in my .Xmodmap:
! ADD MODIFIERS FOR FVWM...
add mod3 = osfSelect
and in fvwm2rc.keys:
Key g A 3 Prev [!Visible *] FlipFocusAndWarp
Key l A 3 Next [CurrentScreen *lll*] FocusAndWarp
and it works great !
----------------------
i am still in a fog concerning how modifiers work in xmodmap though.
for example (this is a default setting):
keycode 64 = Alt_L Meta_L
I assume this means that if i shift my Alt_L key, then i get Meta_L
But... don't i already get Meta, without shifting ?
(because, to use this fvwm mapping, i type Alt-a, NOT Shift-Alt-a)
Key a A M Next [CurrentScreen *aux*] FocusAndWarp
so, shat gives ? looking thru the linux documentation for the
loadkeys command (for the console), i found a description
of how modifiers work
but i am not sure they work the same way in X.
