That's because the original reply looked as though it was the *function* that supported this. Yes, just binding a normal action and pressing escape would work fine.

I can verify that when I click and hold the close button on a window, press escape, and then release, the window is not closed. It does have the odd behavior that once I press escape, I get a busy cursor symbol. This is with fvwm 2.5.24 running in a gnome session. Emilie

Really? There's no code anywhere to support this.

The pointer is grabbed at the time the function is invoked, and as such the action would apply regardless. FVWM has no way of knowing where the mouse is to correctly invoke the function as you're wanting it. -- Thomas Adam
FVWM: window buttons and button-focus
Hi, I've tried to get following behaviour of the window-buttons but I can't find a satisfying solution. If a mouse button is pressed and held on one of the window buttons and the mouse pointer moved from the button, the according action should not be invoked. But if the mouse pointer moves back over the button it should. Mouse 1 2 A Close closes the window wherever the mouse pointer is. I've tried to use a function like that: DestroyFunc CloseWindow AddToFunc CloseWindow + C Close Mouse 1 2 A Function CloseWindow But this does not work exactly the way I would like to. I do not know if this is maybe a bug, but shouldn't the function be triggered only if the mouse pointer is over the button and the mouse key depressed? On buttons (e.g. FvwmForms) this works as I'd like. Does anyone has a solution for this? bye Chris -- phone: +49 6898/10-4987 web : www.saarstahl.de mail : Hofstattstraße 106a D 66333 Voelklingen
