I have no objections, but we need to add some protocol to inform FvwmProxy about which modifiers to watch. Perhaps something like SendToModule FvwmProxy Show ReleaseModifiers <modifiers> <action> where <modifiers> is a modifier string as in the Mouse command (I think there is some parsing stuff in libs/Bindings.c) and <action> is either "Abort" or "Activate current proxy" (or whatever we called this functionality). It would be good to not poll the pointer constantly but only when a message from fvwm arrives, or once per second otherwise. > On Fri, Jul 02, 2004 at 03:31:12AM +0200, Dominik Vogt wrote: > > On Thu, Jul 01, 2004 at 02:10:39AM -0700, Jason Weber wrote: > > > It looks like key release bindings are gone.
