With a click to focus without raise policy, I get a very irritating problem: when it is 2 windows on the screen and numlock is on, the only possibility to shift the focus to the unfocused window with the mouse is to put numlock to off.
The solution explained into the FAQ is not a solution for me, I need the NumLock feature of my keyboard. I try to put 'IgnoreMidifiers 2' at the beginning of my fvwm-crystal configuration and my click to focus policy seam to work very well. But I get another issue: I cannot change the volume in mplayer with the - of the numeric keypad. Numlock must be on for that, and it look like fvwm ignore the numlock not only for its own bindings, but also that it interfere with the bindings of other programs. With 'IgnoreModifiers' without argument, or without IgnoreModifier, I can change the volume in mplayer, when it have the focus and with the same key binding: NumLock to on and '-'. With focus follow mouse, I don't get this issue. With xfce4 and a click to focus policy, I don't get this issue. Here is the click to focus without raise policy I use: Style * !FPEnterToFocus, !FPLeaveToUnfocus, FPClickToFocus, FPClickDecorToFocus Style * !FPClickRaisesFocused, FPClickDecorRaisesFocused Style * FPAllowRaiseClickFunction, FPAllowFocusClickFunction Style * FPFocusByProgram, FPFocusByFunction, !FPFocusByFunctionWarpPointer Style * FPGrabFocus, FPGrabFocusTransient Style * FPReleaseFocus, FPReleaseFocusTransient Dominique "We have the heroes we deserve."
