FVWM: Menu selection when hotkey is unique to a particular item

[Glenn Golden]

In fvwm 2.6.1: If several menu items are associated with a particular hotkey,
then typing that key repeatedly cycles thru those items, hilighting each in
turn; then you hit <cr> (or space) to invoke the one you want. But if there's
only one item is associated with a given hotkey, then hitting that hotkey
immediately invokes it and the menu disappears. Is there any config-able way
to change the latter behavior so that it is the same as for the non-unique
case, i.e. so that the item is highlighted and then requires explicit <cr> to
invoke?

The man page does not seem to indicate any parameters for controlling this
behavior, but perhaps I missed it.

Thanks,

Glenn

That's because it's not possible.

Does the attached patch unconditionally define the behaviour you're after
though? If so, I'll embelish it with options, and commit to CVS.
