I wonder when this "|" for modifiers came into use... I've been using twm derivatives for more than 15 years (and ctwm itself for more than a decade), so my configuration file is a living fossil ;-) It always looked, and still looks, like this: "A" = c m : all : f.autoraise Button2 = : icon | title : f.move In other words, it appears that there never really was a need for the inconsistent vertical bar in the modifier list, and a space can be used. I don't know why it was explained with the bar in the documentation, or why ctwm accepts the vertical bar there at all. I see that the X11R6 twm documentation also talks about this vertical bar - but I guess that once upon a time, it didn't (otherwise, I don't know how I ever decided to write "c m", with a space). -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Jun 5 2007, 19 Sivan 5767 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |The fact that no one understands you http://nadav.harel.org.il |doesn't mean you're an artist.
