= FvwmConsole(1)
:doctype: manpage
:mantitle: FvwmConsole
:manname: FvwmConsole
:manmanual: Fvwm Modules
:manvolnum: 1
:page-layout: base
== NAME
FvwmConsole - an fvwm command input interface
== SYNOPSIS
Module FvwmConsole [options]
_FvwmConsole_ can only be invoked by fvwm. Command line invocation of
the _FvwmConsole_ module will not work.
== DESCRIPTION
FvwmConsole allows the user to type fvwm configuration commands
interactively, and have them executed immediately. This tool is
particularly useful for testing new configuration ideas, or for
implementing temporary changes to your environment.
== INVOCATION
FvwmConsole must be spawned as a module by fvwm. FvwmConsole takes all
_xterm_(1) options.
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.
== CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmConsole uses _xterm_(1). All resources set for xterm are inherited
unless overridden by command line options.
____
Module FvwmConsole -g 40x10 -fg black -bg green3
____
A different terminal emulator can be specified with the -terminal
option. However, only terminal programs that understand the options
-name, -title and -e can be used. Debian specific: hardcoded xterm
is changed to x-terminal-emulator. To be policy compliant -name
option is removed from default options and -title is change to -T.
____
Module FvwmConsole -terminal rxvt
____
Previous versions of FvwmConsole supported a -e option to choose a
different front-end. Although this option is still provided for
backwards compatibility its use is discouraged unless you know exactly
what you are doing.
Also X resources can be set in your ~/.Xdefaults file:
____
FvwmConsole*VT100*geometry: 40x4 +
FvwmConsole*font: 7x14
____
Debian specific: Since -name is not included by default, the
default resource will be set by the x-terminal-emulator used
and not FvwmConsole. You can change the resource to match the
terminal, or if supported by the terminal, run FvwmCConsole
with the -name option:
____
Module FvwmConsole -name FvwmConsole
____
== COMMAND EDITING
If the GNU readline library is available, it can be used.
Overwise a simple input reading function which
doesn't have editing capabilities is used.
For more details, refer GNU readline man and info pages.
____
Ctrl-A::
- beginning of line
Ctrl-B::
- previous char
Ctrl-D::
- delete char
Ctrl-E::
- end of line
Ctrl-F::
- next char
Ctrl-H::
- backspace
Ctrl-K::
- erase to the end of line
Ctrl-N::
- next line
Ctrl-P::
- previous line
Ctrl-R::
- search reverse
Ctrl-U::
- delete line
Meta-B::
- previous word
Meta-F::
- next word
Esc <::
- beginning of history
Esc >::
- end of history
____
== EXITING
FvwmConsole can be stopped by entering the EOF character (usually
CTRL-D).
*Note!* Do not use the "quit" command, as this is an fvwm builtin:
typing "quit" at the FvwmConsole command line will cause fvwm to exit.
== SEE ALSO
_xterm_(1), GNU Readline library
== AUTHOR
FvwmConsole is the original work of Toshi Isogai.
