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 +.br +FvwmConsole*font: 7x14 +.RE + + +.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. + +.RS +.PD 0 +.TP 8 +Cntl-A +- beginning of line +.TP +Cntl-B +- previous char +.TP +Cntl-D +- delete char +.TP +Cntl-E +- end of line +.TP +Cntl-F +- next char +.TP +Cntl-H +- backspace +.TP +Cntl-K +- erase to the end of line +.TP +Cntl-N +- next line +.TP +Cntl-P +- previous line +.TP +Cntl-R +- search reverse +.TP +Cntl-U +- delete line +.TP +Meta-B +- previous word +.TP +Meta-F +- next word +.TP +Esc < +- beginning of history +.TP +Esc > +- end of history +.RE +.PD + +.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. + +.SH COPYRIGHTS +Copyright 1996, Toshi Isogai.
