DESCRIPTION

       FvwmConsoleC.pl  offers  editing  capabilities   while   the   user  is
       entering  the line.  By default, the line editing commands are  similar
       to  those  of  emacs.  It  also  offers substitution , which replaces a
       pattern to a string before it sends the command.

                     order that they are defined.

CONFIGURATION

       The   key   binding  can  be  overridden  or  defined  in  fvwm  module
       configuration.

              *FvwmConsole: Key \ck prev_line

       Non-space character sequence need not be quoted.  In order to undefine,
       omit the last argument.

              *FvwmConsole: Key \ck

       Note  that non-meta character is case sensitive.  \c means control key,
       \e means escape, and \m is alt key.
       It also accepts  Subst  configuration.  Users  often  input  long  fvwm
       command  repeatedly.  Subst  will  replace particular input sequence to
       user defined string. Example:

              *FvwmConsole: Subst ’^bigx’ ’Exec xterm -g 120x60+0+0 -fn  10x20
              -fg black -bg lemonchiffon’

       Typing ’bigx<return>’ in FvwmConsole will launch xterm. ’^’ denotes the
       beginning of line in regular expression.  ´pl´ in  the  middle  of  the
       command  will  not be replaced. Although the format looks different, it
       takes Perl regular expression.  It just uses single or double quote  as
       the  delimiter.   Single  or double quotes have no difference, although
       they have to match, and cannot include itself in the string.

              *FvwmConsole:  Subst  ’^g\s*(\d+)’   ’Desk   0   0\nGotoPage   0
              $1\nFocus’

       Entering ’g4’ or ’g  4’ will jump to desk 0 page 0 4 and focus.

INVOCATION

       FvwmConsoleC.pl should be invoked by FvwmConsole.
