Suggestion for flwm

[Guy]

In most operating systems, you can close a program by pressing alt-f4.

I think it would be a good idea to add this in flwm.

I think alt+del is more logic

[Guy]

I should confess, I wasn't aware of that one.

As alt-f4 is used in most operating systems, that is what I tried, and it did not work.

I keep on learning.

Because it is different, new users won't be aware of it.

Guy:  If you dig around in the forums, you'll find debate about the hotkeys... some people are familiar with Alt + F4 to close, but some people are used to it doing something else. 

What to do about this?  Adding a lot configurablity introduces complexities the Core Team would like to avoid in the base system, and any one set of hotkey behaviors is likely to be unfamiliar or contra-intuitive for at least part of the user base.  So there's no perfect solution.  I imagine that better documentation (Wiki?) and promotion of such might help.

mmm I feel the lack of alt+right_click to move windows and alt+left_click to resize 

[MikeLockmoore]

But there's all kinds of Ctrl+Alt key combinations.    Check out the recent release announcements, if you haven't yet.

and Alt+tab!

it's doesn't work too! 

[MikeLockmoore]

In flwm, as you may have found out, Alt + Tab brings up the system menu (same as right-clicking on the background).  When that is open, the next window in the sequence is highlighted.  So you can just press enter to raise and activate that window.  So Alt + Tab in something like windows can be done by Alt + Tab, (release), Enter in flwm.  Maybe not as convenient, but not bad either with a little practice
