I found a program called xclip which may be used to achieve what I want. It can set and read the xselection. So thanks for the clipboard hint. I tried to use it in conjunction with the fvwm FakeClick command but without success. Maybe someone has an idea why it does not work: DestroyFunc InsertTextInApplication AddToFunc InsertTextInApplication + I Exec echo -n $* | $[HOME]/bin/xclip + I FakeClick press 2 wait 250 release 2 AddToMenu InsertPopup + "Insert 109141029347" Function InsertTextInApplication 109141029347 When I select the menu entry above nothing happens. But I can insert the number above by pressing the middle mouse button afterwards.
