In general, fvwm does not know anything about text input windows
of applications. Applications do not announce that certain sub
windows are intended to take keyboard input or not. So, if a
window has several sub windows that take keyboard input there is
no canonical way to warp the pointer to them. If you only want to
be able to type into such a window, try
Style * GrabFocusTransient
or for only selected windows:
Style findDialog_popup GrabFocusTransient
Style openURLDialog_popup GrabFocusTransient
(use FvwmIdent to find out name/class/resource of a window). The
GrabFocusTransient option is new to the 2.3.x beta version. To
actually warp the pointer into the window you could use FvwmEvent.
If you need help in setting up FvwmEvent, don't hesitate to ask.
