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
-
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 :D
-
But there's all kinds of Ctrl+Alt key combinations. 8) Check out the recent release announcements, if you haven't yet.

and Alt+tab!
it's doesn't work too! :o

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
