I found a program called xclip which may be used to achieve what I
want. It can set and read the xselection. So thanks for the clipboard
hint.
I tried to use it in conjunction with the fvwm FakeClick command but
without success. Maybe someone has an idea why it does not work:
DestroyFunc InsertTextInApplication
AddToFunc InsertTextInApplication
+ I Exec echo -n $* | $[HOME]/bin/xclip
+ I FakeClick press 2 wait 250 release 2
AddToMenu InsertPopup
+ "Insert 109141029347" Function InsertTextInApplication 109141029347
When I select the menu entry above nothing happens. But I can insert
the number above by pressing the middle mouse button afterwards.
