FvwmConsoleC.pl - Command editor for fvwm command input interface

Author

       Toshi Isogai

3rd Berkeley Distribution                   06 November 2016 (2.6.8)                          FvwmConsoleC.pl(1)

Configuration

       The key binding can be overridden or defined in fvwm module configuration.

              *FvwmConsole: Key \ck prev_line

       Non-space character sequence need not be quoted.  In order to undefine, omit the last argument.

              *FvwmConsole: Key \ck

       Note  that  non-meta  character  is case sensitive.  \c means control key, \e means escape, and \m is alt
       key.
       It also accepts Subst configuration. Users often input long fvwm command repeatedly. Subst  will  replace
       particular input sequence to user defined string. Example:

              *FvwmConsole: Subst '^bigx' 'Exec xterm -g 120x60+0+0 -fn 10x20 -fg black -bg lemonchiffon'

       Typing  'bigx<return>'  in  FvwmConsole  will  launch xterm. '^' denotes the beginning of line in regularexpression.  ´pl´ in the middle of the command will not be replaced. Although the format looks different,
       it takes Perl regular expression.  It just uses single or double  quote  as  the  delimiter.   Single  or
       double quotes have no difference, although they have to match, and cannot include itself in the string.

              *FvwmConsole: Subst '^g\s*(\d+)' 'Desk 0 0\nGotoPage 0 $1\nFocus'

       Entering 'g4' or 'g  4' will jump to desk 0 page 0 4 and focus.

Description

       FvwmConsoleC.pl offers editing capabilities  while  the  user  is entering  the line.   By  default,  the
       line  editing  commands  are  similar  to  those of emacs. It also offers substitution , which replaces a
       pattern to a string before it sends the command.
