The man page has some good info, I'll touch on the highlights (of course
I'm a Linux/FVWM newbie, so don't expect me to know too much, yet).
Alt-tab works like in Windows (where I come from)
Add AutomaticHotkeys to your MenuStyle Option to simplify menu
navigation. I also use vi key bindings for menu navigation (j = down, k
= up, h = left, l = right), and window movement sometimes.
Of course the FVWM lets you set up hotkey to execute just about
anything, here's my audio control section for example:
Key z A CS Exec exec xmms-shell -e backward
Key x A CS Exec exec xmms-shell -e play
Key c A CS Exec exec xmms-shell -e pause
Key v A CS Exec exec xmms-shell -e stop
Key b A CS Exec exec xmms-shell -e forward
Key r A CS Exec exec xmms-shell -e repeat
Key KP_Right A C Exec exec xmms-shell -e + 1
Key KP_Page_Down A C Exec exec xmms-shell -e - 1
Key KP_Left A C Exec exec aumix -v + 1
Key KP_End A C Exec exec aumix -v - 1
Another nice tip my roommate showed me was to hit Ctrl-D to quickly log
out, works with xterm and rxvt as well.
