FVWM: Query regarding MoveToDeskAndPage

[Stuart Longland]

Hi all,

I spent a few hours this weekend tweaking my FVWM key bindings. One
thing I'm trying to get working is the ability to move a window to an
arbitrary desk and page. I'm running FVWM 2.6.3 and will try 2.6.5 in a
moment.

has the full configuration. A full run down on the configuration is
here: http://stuartl.longlandclan.yi.org/blog/2013/03/03/fvwm/

The idea is I can quickly jump between pages by hitting Logo+Escape
(Logo="Command" on the MacBook, or the Windows key), or move a window to
another page with Logo+Shift+Escape.

The former works well, I just hit Logo+Escape, dial in two digits, and
I'm there. For bonus points, with the exception of the Logo key, the
keys are all in close proximity.

However, the option to move to a window doesn't seem to work.
MoveToDeskAndPage prev does things, as I'm able to usefully hit
Logo+Shift+Tab to move between two pages on different desktops, but
moving a window to a specific desk and page doesn't seem to work.

Is there some trick to make this work?

Hmm, actually, I just updated to FVWM 2.6.5 and tested this more
closely, and it doesn't seem to work. How do I implement this?

Hi

You sure can switch between page or desk, but you forgot to "warp" to
the window.
You can use 2 things that come in my mind , either store window ID and
after moving the window to the desired location , warping to it or
stick the window, move to the desired location, unstick the window.

The later one is fine to me because you don't need to manage $.
