This'll be entirely dependant upon the app. you want to do the paste in
- if many, then you'll need to set up each individually. FVWM does take
any part in that sort of action.
However.
You *can* in FVWM map the <Insert> key to call a program, passing the
window ID that has focus as an arg. You can then make that program perform
a fake key-press in the window; in this case, you'd want <Ctrl-V> I
imagine.
Bit OTT, mind, but it'll work! (I do a similar thing to reformat emails
in Netscape; I have a key that runs up vim, then a vim script that grabs
the current selection, reformats it, and calls my prog. to fake a <Del>
then a <Ctrl-V> in the NS window to paste the edited contents
automatically back.)
I have a very noddy xKeyClick.c thing that you could compile up & call;
if you're actually interested I'll email [the source] (or post it; it's
only 2Kb or so).
