Incidentally, I'd like a way to do something similar... I don't think
fvwm currently offers a way to do this, and I think fvwm 2.5 is in a
feature freeze right now. Perhaps 2.7 could offer a way to wait for a
keypress in a complex function and then offer the pressed key key via a
$variable. This should make it possible to have a function gather, say,
2 keys after it's invoked by a keybinding, glue them together, and do
something useful with them.
As for the present, it's probably possible to build something like this
using perl and FVWM::Module. It'd probably be pretty simple, but I
haven't made it as far as trying yet.
