RE: "F1" binding on twm failed.

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Christian,

This question is really off-topic for this mailing list.  twm is a window
manager that is included with several X distributions, including XFree86.
Abundant documentation exists for twm from twm-specific sources.

On Google I found tons of twm resources, such as the man page and some
sample .twmrc files:
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/X11R6.1/man/programs/twm.html
http://physics.wm.edu/unix_intro/loginmht/twmrc.html
http://www.strath.ac.uk/CC/Courses/oldXC/subsection3_9_2.html


I was able to get the iconify function mapped to F1 like so:
cp /etc/X11/twm/system.twmrc ~/.twmrc

Then, I edited ~/.twmrc with emacs and added the line that you had to the
end of the file.  I started up Cygwin/XFree86 and the iconify function
worked correctly.  You have to be aware, however, that using f.iconify from
the keyboard is a little different than using the iconify function on the
twm menu.  When you press F1 the mouse cursor has to be over the root window
and the mouse cursor does not change to a black circle like it does with the
iconify menu command.  However, the next window title that you click on
(yes, it has to be the title) will get iconified.

So, the behavior is a little strange, but I can't tell you if this is
different than the way binding F1 to inconify would work on, say, Linux.


Good luck,

Harold
