I have put myself together and cleaned up my Fvwm config to make it shareable:

fvwm-mntnoe-2008-08-1.tar.bz2

It is a 100 % keyboard driven Fvwm config, that aims to make window handling efficient by making the keyboard commands easy to hit. Two instances of conky (one is double buffered, the other in its own window) and xfce4-panel is visible in the screenshots.

All window handling uses the AltGr (right Alt on the US keyboard) key as modifier, to avoid conflicts with applications. AltGr is easy to reach, but seldom used, except for “local characters”. The most frequently used commands are the easiest to hit. For example, instead of using CTRL-F1,F2,F3,F4 to switch workspace, AltGr-U,I,O,P is used instead. The “root menu” is called with AltGr-L.

The window titlebar is replaced by a colored border; the color which depends on the application. This actually improves the readability (IMHO), as the “real” information comes closer to each other. Also it uses less screen space which is crucial on a 12″ laptop :-)

Also, I found a copy of my original Fvwm config from 2005, so it’s available for download again, thanks to the guys at guistyles.com. The link at the post had been broken for a while.
