NAME

FvwmAuto - the FVWM auto-raise module

SYNOPSIS

FvwmAuto is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work. The correct syntax is:

Module FvwmAuto Timeout [EnterCommand [LeaveCommand]]

AddToMenu Modules "Modules"      Title
+                 "Audio"        Module FvwmAudio
+                 "Auto"         Module FvwmAuto 300 raise lower
+                 "Buttons"      Module FvwmButtons
+                 "Ident"        Module FvwmIdent
+                 "Banner"       Module FvwmBanner
+                 "Pager"        Module FvwmPager 0 3

The Timeout argument is required. It specifies how long a window must retain the keyboard input focus before the command is executed. The delay is measured in milliseconds, and any integer 0 or greater is acceptable.

EnterCommand and LeaveCommand are optional. EnterCommand is executed Timeout milliseconds after a window gets the input focus, LeaveCommand is executed Timeout milliseconds after the window has lost focus.

"Raise" is the default for EnterCommand, but any fvwm2 function is allowed. I would not use "Close" or "Destroy" with a low timeout, though. The LeaveCommand can be handy for a tidy desktop. Experiment with:

Module FvwmAuto 0 Nop Lower
Module FvwmAuto 0 Nop Iconify
