Do you mean something like this in 2.5.x: DestroyFunc Ctrl-Alt-F-Action AddToFunc Ctrl-Alt-F-Action + I Key X A A Exec xterm + I Key C A A Exec xcalc # optionally put some flash window + I Schedule 5000 Key X A A - + I Schedule 5000 Key C A A - # Press Ctrl-Alt-F and then "x" or "c" Key F A CM Ctrl-Alt-F-Action With this, you should press a key in 5 seconds otherwise it is timed out. I think that the solution with a menu and its hot keys is good too. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
