Hi,
I've gotta few configuration questions that I was hoping somebody could
help me out with. Was using gnome2 for a while, but realized i needed something
more than metacity... will probably converge to fvwm 2.5 + gnome2 eventually..
Anyhow, I'm using 2.4.15 for the moment, and I've got a few things that I'm trying
to do but can't seem to figure out how to do them.
1) Focus when switching pages: When I switch a page, I want the last focused window
on that page (before i left) to be refocused. To do this, I tried to write a function
like:
AddToFunc GotoPageAndFocus
+ I GotoPage $0 $1
+ I Next [CurrentPage] Focus
So that I can say something like
Key Up C GotoPageAndFocus +0p -1p
This almost works.. as it switches pages and focuses something, but
unfortunatley it focuses the wrong window. Every time I return the to a
page the "next" window in the page is focused. I can't figure out how to
refer to the former "current" window of that page.
2) Raising when using WindowList: I want to try to replicate sawfish type behaviour in
combination with the windowilst.. is there any way to capture the user moving down
through the list and running commands based on the current selected window (before
the SelectOnRelease fires)?
3) How "unstable" is 2.5.x? Is it like a "its a CVS snapshot so it might
not even compile" type of unstable? or is it a "it mostly works but
there might be a few bugs" kind of stable. I've seen some of the
screenshots of 2.5.x which look quite interesting, plust the EWMH
compatibility, but i also don't want something that I'm gonna have to
fight with all the time. Also, I'm sure lots of people ask and I know
its on the FAQ,etc etc, but is there a ballpark estimate for when 2.6
might be out? (a few months? a few years?) Just helps in trying to make
a decision of whether I should wait and stick with 2.4.x or make the jump.
And if I do make the jump will likely bring an ebuild to the gentoo tree.
4) is there a way to search the ML archive?
Thanks alot. Having lots of fun with the .fvwm2rc.. a bit tedious, but I
guess thats what you get.
Ken
