You could create one key binding to a popup menu, which would have
each entry assigned a hot key...

  key c A 4 Popup menu

  DestroyMenu menu
  AddToMenu menu "menu" Title
  + &w3m Exec xterm -e w3m
  + &netscape Exec netscape
  + &mozilla Exec mozilla


...so after you press "Super_L-c, m" sequence, mozilla would be
executed. It may create a flash effect if keys are pressed w/in very
short time period.

See fvwm(1) for details.
