Hello! I needed a function that would select a particular window on a desktop every time I press a given key. The function has two parts. The first part collects all the window IDs (and positions) and saves them to a file. The second part selects a particular window (with PipeRead). This is how I did it:
DestroyFunc HelperFnc AddToFunc HelperFnc + I ThisWindow Exec exec echo $[w.y]:$[w.x]:$[w.id] >>~/.fvwm/wlist.txt DestroyFunc WSelect AddToFunc WSelect + I Exec exec rm -f ~/.fvwm/wlist.txt ; touch ~/.fvwm/wlist.txt + I All (!Iconic, CurrentPage, AcceptsFocus) HelperFnc + I PipeRead "~/.fvwm/SelectWindow.sh" SelectWindow.sh is a script that reads the wlist.txt produced by the first part of the WSelect function, and focuses on a particular window. Now, all this is not relaible. Most of the time it works, but somtimes the wlist.txt file ends up empty or missing some windows. Like if the PipeRead kicked in too early. Is it possible that the lines in an fvwm function (WSelect in this case) are NOT executed sequentially? Regards, Attila
