But these applications tend to grab the keyboard and mouse anyway, unless
you tell them not to, and even then, they might not accept things like
FVWM's FakeKeyPress command.

It is OT here, but see above.

FVWM: assign focus
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I have to work alot with virtual machines (kvm) and VNC sessions. For this I would like to assign keyboard focus to a window, until I press some magic escape sequence (e.g. the left and right ctrl keys in parallel). I need a way to send something like Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Ctrl-BS to the vnc session. The X server, Fvwm and others should not interfere with that, while focus is assigned. VNC's fullscreen mode is not sufficient for this. Probably this is OT here, but maybe somebody has an idea? Any helpful comment would be highly appreciated.
