TWM - Combining Modifier Keys

Button1 = control & shift : w : f.move

Useful when you're using Autohotkey to trap Alt to enhance Win XP.

Mann may also abbreviate as :

Button1 = c & m : w : f.move
Button3 = c & m : w : f.fullzoom
"F2" = : w : f.lower
Button1 = s & m : w : f.iconify
Button3 = s & m : w : f.resize

Here, it's CTRL and ALT together. fullzoom is a big productivity booster in my opinion - you want to quickly maximize and minimize. Now, if I could somehow get my Ultr@VNC to give me dual monitor... I found out that RealVNC is good for that - you can atleast get your desktop to span both screens, though, you're not at true dual montior behavior the way Win XP does it because, when you maximize a window, it takes up both screens. There are some things about Win XP you just have to love. Or else they couldn't charge money for it:)

Of course, these lines go in your ~/.twmrc. Here's a good resource on available functions :
