xterm*VT100.Translations only when mouse is over the window with focus Is this a bug or a feature? For me, it's a serious problem. (click to focus) ONLY CYGWIN In particular, I'm talking about the function keys. In this case, these are NOT mapped in fvwm, but in xterm. Pressing a function key, like F1, always writes to the window with focus, but only performs the X11/xterm translations with the mouse is hovering over the window with focus. So, I always have to move the mouse to the window to be able to write to the window. Otherwise, \e[P is written to the window, for example Note that I can visit various windows with keyboard shortcuts, so there's no natural correspondence with mouse position and window focus. This failure to do the X11/xterm translation only occurs with x11/cygwin xterms. Windows opened locally via sshd (port forwarded) behave normally, performing the translation to the focused window, no matter where the mouse is. fvwm 2.6.6 compiled on Oct 10 2016 at 00:25:52 with support for: ReadLine, XPM, PNG, SVG, Shape, XShm, SM, Bidi text, Xinerama, XRender, XCursor, XFT, NLS
