DESCRIPTION
       FvwmConsoleC.pl offers editing capabilities  while  the  user  is
       entering  the line.  By default, the line editing commands are similar
       to those of emacs. It also offers substitution , which replaces a
       pattern to a string before it sends the command.

                     order that they are defined.

CONFIGURATION
       The key binding can be overridden or defined in fvwm module
       configuration.

              *FvwmConsole: Key \ck prev_line

       Non-space character sequence need not be quoted.  In order to undefine,
       omit the last argument.

              *FvwmConsole: Key \ck

       Note that non-meta character is case sensitive.  \c means control key,
       \e means escape, and \m is alt key.
       It also accepts Subst configuration. Users often input long fvwm
       command repeatedly. Subst will replace particular input sequence to
       user defined string. Example:

              *FvwmConsole: Subst '^bigx' 'Exec xterm -g 120x60+0+0 -fn 10x20
              -fg black -bg lemonchiffon'

       Typing 'bigx<return>' in FvwmConsole will launch xterm. '^' denotes the
       beginning of line in regular expression.  'pl' in the middle of the
       command will not be replaced. Although the format looks different, it
       takes Perl regular expression.  It just uses single or double quote as
       the delimiter.  Single or double quotes have no difference, although
       they have to match, and cannot include itself in the string.

              *FvwmConsole: Subst '^g\s*(\d+)' 'Desk 0 0\nGotoPage 0
              $1\nFocus'

       Entering 'g4' or 'g  4' will jump to desk 0 page 0 4 and focus.

INVOCATION
       FvwmConsoleC.pl should be invoked by FvwmConsole.
