No, I meant to tell FvwmProxy * Which modifier key to watch for * If FvwmProxy should be aborted when the key is released or if the selected window whould be activated To change the actions dynamically one whould use a function and redefine that. There is no need for configuring the actions via SendToModule. > Do I just expose '*FvwmProxy: Action' as 'SendToModule FvwmProxy Action' > or maybe call it ReplaceAction? P.S.: Please write replies below the quoted portions you are refering to on this list.
