Storing Window Names

Configuration General Questions
1

Hi all:

dumb question:

Is it possible for FVWM to know the NAME of the window that is currently in focus?

I need/want to have access to/store this information (perhaps as an environment variable) when a window gains focus so that I can do something with that name (if necessary).

please let me know if anyone knows if this kind of thing is even possible

Thanks in advance,

  • Skender

You want the $[w.name] variable.

ya, just found it in the man page… I guess I didn’t see it last time through (even though it is right below $[w.id]…

thanks,
