Greetings,
I've search the website, archives, wiki, and a number of configuration
websites, and have been unable to find a way to cause an action to
happen when a modifier key is held down and/or released. I'm running
fvwm 2.6.8 on CentOS 7.
My goal is to have the following rules followed.
Rules about keys being pressed and (possibly) held.
- If Ctrl-Alt are pressed ...
- and if no other keys are pressed within some period of time ...
- then pop up the pager
- and if other keys (such as arrow keys) are pressed ...
- then execute some other action
Rules about keys being released.
- If Ctrl-Alt are released ...
- and if the pager is displayed ...
- then remove the pager
The use case is to have Ctrl-Alt-(up|down|left|right) change desks,
but, if one wants, then holding Ctrl-Alt before pressing the arrow key
will pop up the pager so you can see the desks to which you will be
changing.
I thought it would be an elegant alternative to keeping the pager in
the task-bar, or on the screen, but it seems that there's no way to
detect held and/or released keys in fvwm.
So, on to the questions.
1) Does anyone know of a way to get the behavior I desire within fvwm?
2) If not, does anyone know of a way to get the behavior I desire
using X11 included tools?
Please let me know if more information is needed.
Regards,
