FVWM: Using modifiers with FakeKeyPress

[m***@crosswire.com]

I keep forgetting Rxvts font increase/decrease keysequence. I'd like to
just simulate it from a titlebar menu since I only use it once in a blue
moon.

Something like:

+ I "&PlusFont" Current FakeKeypress press Shift_R press KP_Add

I've tried several combinations, and shift just doesn't seem to want to
occur symultaneously. What am I missing?

Thanks!
Matt

URxvt might not understand or have an option for recognising synthetic
key events.

Oh, and even if it did, it's one key press at a time, so once Shift_L
(see xev(1)) had been sent, by the time the KP_Add key is sent, the
modifier key is thrown away.

So, probably (I haven't tested this):

FakeKeyPress modifiers 6 press KP_Add

should work.

Cool! That worked.
