.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
FvwmConsole \- an FVWM command input interface
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
FvwmConsole is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
FvwmConsole allows the user to type fvwm configuration commands
|
||
|
|
interactively, and have them executed immediately. This tool is
|
||
|
|
particularly useful for testing new configuration ideas, or for
|
||
|
|
implementing temporary changes to your environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH INVOCATION
|
||
|
|
FvwmConsole must be spawned as a module by fvwm. FvwmConsole takes all
|
||
|
|
\fIxterm\fP(1) options, except -name and -title.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
FvwmConsole can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmConsole' in
|
||
|
|
the .fvwm2rc file. This can be placed on a line by itself, if
|
||
|
|
FvwmConsole is to be spawned during fvwm's initialization, or can be
|
||
|
|
bound to a menu or mouse button or keystroke to invoke it later. Fvwm
|
||
|
|
will search directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option
|
||
|
|
to attempt to locate FvwmConsole.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
FvwmConsole uses \fIxterm\fP(1). All resources set for xterm are
|
||
|
|
inherited unless overridden by command line options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.RS
|
||

|
Module FvwmConsole -g 40x10 -fg black -bg green3
|
||
|
|
.RE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The option -e can be used to choose an alternate front-end:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.RS
|
||
|
|
Module FvwmConsole -e /usr/X11/lib/fvwm2/FvwmConsoleC.pl
|
||
|
|
.RE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(see \fIFvwmConsoleC.pl\fP(1)).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Also X resources can be set in your ~/.Xdefaults file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.RS
|
||
|
|
FvwmConsole*VT100*geometry: 40x4

.SH "COMMAND EDITING"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a few options. If the GNU readline library is available, it
|
||
|
|
can be used.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If Perl5 is installed, FvwmConsoleC.pl can be used as a command editor.
|
||
|
|
This can be accomplished by either copying FvwmConsoleC.pl
|
||
|
|
to fvwmlib directory as FvwmConsoleC or
|
||
|
|
invoking FvwmConsole with -e option.
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.RS
|
||
|
|
Module FvwmConsole -e /usr/lib/X11/fvwm2/FvwmConsoleC.pl
|
||
|
|
.RE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If neither one is installed, a simple input reading function which
|
||
|
|
doesn't have editing capabilities is used.
|
||
|
|
.P
|
||
|
|
GNU readline and FvwmConsoleC.pl have some frequent used commands
|
||
|
|
in common as default.
|
||
|
|
These commands are similar to emacs.
|
||
|
|
For more details, refer GNU readline man and info pages, and
|
||
|
|
FvwmConsoleC.pl man page.

.SH EXITING
|
||
|
|
|

|
FvwmConsole can be stopped by entering the command "killme" at the command
|
||
|
|
line, or the EOF character (usually CTRL-D).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBNote!\fP Do not use the "quit" command, as this is an fvwm builtin:
|
||
|
|
typing "quit" at the FvwmConsole command line will cause fvwm to exit.
