Hi Duncan,

Sorry for the delay, I was without connection for a while. I get my internet
back Yesterday.

You mean key bindings.

Take a look into the Main menu -> Fvwm-Crystal -> fvwm-crystal documentation ->
keyboard bindings.

They are defined in fvwm/components/bindings/* 

To create your own bindings, don't modify them or you will miss the changes
made to fvwm-crystal when updating. I am still working on a new release, but I
begun to change so many things, than it take me a lot of
time.

But for so little changes, I would recommend you to simply create
~/.fvwm-crystal/userconfig and put your changes into
this file. It will be loaded last at fwvm-crystal start and restart.

You are welcome.

It will be a lot of changes into the next release: 
- full rewrite of the audio button into one single file (half-way done)
- audio preferences moved into the audio button menu (done)
- font preferences menu (done)
- improved maximise* and fullscreen states switching (almost done)
- new minimize window state like into the Amiga-OS (done)
- new amiga recipe (almost done)
- new amiga like windows decoration (half-way done)
- incorporation of those changes every where (todo)
- removing of some environment variables (in the way)

I am using the new amiga recipe to develop and test those changes.
The other recipes are broken in some ways. So I will wait until I get the time
to incorporate the changes into them before committing into the SVN.

I get a very good idea when beginning this Amiga recipe. Fvwm is really amazing
because we can make it to work almost like the Amiga OS. I was thinking than
this was not possible at the beginning. But it is!

The only visual missing feature of the Amiga OS will be the ability to move the
application menus into the top bar of the screen.

But no matter, the new minimize mode (in fact also a maximize state) associated
with the improved maximize* + fullscreen modes switching will give us the best
of both worlds.

Cheers,
Dominique
