Problems with using SelectOnRelease together with other options in WindowList
When writing WindowList Root c c NoDeskSort, ShowPage, SelectOnRelease ShowPage works. When writing WindowList Root c c NoDeskSort, SelectOnRelease, ShowPage ShowPage does not work. The Problem here is that SelectOnRelease calls a function to get Options. And I think that ShowPage is calles as an option? This is an FVWM Current.

Use this instead: WindowList Root c c NoDeskSort, SelectOnRelease , ShowPage I think we already received enough complains to rethink this idea. I vote for WindowList not to be defaulting to SelectOnRelease Meta_L. This is only (supposedly/questionably) good for Alt-Tab, but not for other key and mouse combinations that include Alt modifier. It is ok for me if ConfigFvwmDefaults includes this binding: Key Tab A M WindowList Root c c NoDeskSort, SelectOnRelease Meta_L Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL:http://www.fvwm.org/.

That may be even more confusing. Bye Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL:http://www.fvwm.org/.

That may be even more confusing. Do you mean a user will want to leave the default Alt-Tab binding and set MenuStyle WindowList SelectOnRelease to something like Ctrl_R? I think this does not make a sence, it is easier just to redefine his Alt-Tab or Ctrl-Tab or Super-Shift-F2 binding for WindowList without a need to change MenuStyle. Also I am not convinced that having MenuStyle SelectOnRelease is a good idea. A modifier defined in SelectOnRelease is related to a specific key/mouse binding, not to the whole menu that one may want to invoke with or without auto-release on different bindings. But although I think that SelectOnRelease is a property of a binding, I don't suggest to remove MenuStyle SelectOnRelease if you think it is needed, only unbind WindowList from Alt that is currently hardcoded.

I think this does not make a sence, it is easier just to redefine his Alt-Tab or Ctrl-Tab or Super-Shift-F2 binding for WindowList without a need to change MenuStyle. It may be easier if you already know how to do it. But don't forget that the default binding is hidden in some cryptic file the average user knows nothing about. Also I am not convinced that having MenuStyle SelectOnRelease is a good idea. A modifier defined in SelectOnRelease is related to a specific key/mouse binding, not to the whole menu that one may want to invoke with or without auto-release on different bindings. But although I think that SelectOnRelease is a property of a binding, I don't suggest to remove MenuStyle SelectOnRelease if you think it is needed, only unbind WindowList from Alt that is currently hardcoded. It's a matter of usability. Bye Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL:http://www.fvwm.org/.
