I'll definitely give it a try sometime tomorrow afternoon, but I'm not
saying I'd dump Window Maker for it ;P
Sounds pretty promising though. Besides running an xbindkeys
pseudo-daemon is there any way to set hotkeys in fvwm? I figure I'm
best off asking because fvwm is so configurable, I'd actually be
surprised if it didn't have a way to set hotkeys from inside of it.
And I practically live off of hotkeys, so it would be very
appreciated, and definitely improve my experience :)
