First off, I had been using the EVWM <
http://www.metaphorcity.com/evwm/
> shell replacement in Windows for the past five or so years, and more
> recently, the better-known Litestep shell.
During my time with EVWM, I had grown addicted to the mod-click
functionality in its WindowList. I could Shift + Click, Meta + Click,
and Meta + Shift + Click functionality for its WindowList to close,
hide, and kill windows on my desktop without having to waste time
switching to them.
A couple months ago, my last months in Windows, I hacked the Popup2
module in Litestep to do the same things EVWM could do. ( see:
http://www.seas.ucla.edu/~wonge/bin/ ). I was about to start adding the
option for multiple execution options to the run menu as well (e.g. a
regular click on a menu item could execute an application, shift-click
could pass different parameters to the execution or run an entirely
different app, etc.)
Now I've moved to Linux and I have FVWM running quite well (being a
full-blown WM and not just an execution/task management shell like its
Win32 cousins). I'm still sifting through the documentation, but I
haven't been able to find any way to mod-click on menu items within the
user-defined menus nor the WindowList. If FVWM truly does not have this
functionality, I guess someone (me?) could/should implement it.
Also on the subject of the WindowList, is there a way one could
customize it to show the CurrentDesk/Page items in its root, and then
items from other Desks/Pages within submenus on the WindowList?
