yeah that's what i meant. my mouse lacks a third button; so i use
alt+right_button to move windows in pager, and "right mouse button"
was what i remembered.

in fvwm 2.5.1, MoveToPage binding was producing very odd movements
when used on a highlighted/focused window in the pager; however,
they worked as expected when used on actual window. i tried all the
permutations combining '0', '+', and 'p' to no avail ...

key Bracketleft A M MoveToPage -1p 0p
key Bracketright A M MoveToPage +1p 0p
key Slash A M MoveToPage 0p -1p
key Apostrophe A M MoveToPage 0p +1p


...following key bindings work just as expected w/o any problems
both on the actual window & its representation in the pager...

key Bracketleft W M Move w-100 w
key Bracketright W M Move w+100 w
key Slash W M Move w w+100
key Apostrophe W M Move w w-100


...thanks mikhael.


also ... in private mail i got the suggestion to use a key binding
to "Stick"; focus a window in a page (in virtual pager) move to
another page & press the sticking key, followed by an additional
application. and there you/i have it -- a window transported to
an arbitrary page.
