You should always check the FAQ if you want others to spend their
valuable time helping you. At least lie about it and say "I checked
the FAQ and I couldn't find it".

Fvwm has no specific interaction with vi. If you can't type a "#"
sign in any window, it is possible that fvwm is intercepting the "#"
before the application sees it. If you also can't type "#" in an
xterm, look in your .fvwm2rc for a line like:

  Key # A A Nop

(Any line containing "Key #" would be suspect.)

Since a "#" sign is probably a shifted 3 on your keyboard, you might
also look for a line like:

Key 3 S A Nop
