CONFIGURATION

The key binding can be overridden or defined in fvwm module configuration.
*FvwmConsole: Key \ck prev_line

Non-space character sequence need not be quoted. In order to undefine, omit the last argument.

*FvwmConsole: Key \ck

Note that non-meta character is case sensitive. \c means control key, \e means escape, and \m is alt key.
It also accepts Subst configuration. Users often input long fvwm command repeatedly. Subst will replace particular input sequence to user defined string. Example:

*FvwmConsole: Subst '^bigx' 'Exec xterm -g 120x60+0+0 -fn 10x20 -fg black -bg lemonchiffon'

Typing 'bigx<return>' in FvwmConsole will launch xterm. '^' denotes the beginning of line in regular expression. 'pl' in the middle of the command will not be replaced. Although the format looks different, it takes Perl regular expression. It just uses single or double quote as the delimiter. Single or double quotes have no difference, although they have to match, and cannot include itself in the string.

*FvwmConsole: Subst '^g\s*(\d+)' 'Desk 0 0\nGotoPage 0 $1\nFocus'

Entering 'g4' or 'g 4' will jump to desk 0 page 0 4 and focus.

INVOCATION

FvwmConsoleC.pl should be invoked by FvwmConsole.
