Sorry if this is a novice question, but... How do I disable all mwm accelerators? More specifically, I have a few clients that need to receive all keypresses without mwm getting in their way intercepting key combinations like Alt-F5. I've tried just about everything without any success. While I'm at it, how do I disable, or change, the accelerators for just one kind of clients (say, xterms with a special name)? This is for Motif 1.0.

I've been using mwm on a Sun, the Quest 1.0 version, for a few days. I have several complaints. There is no man page for mwm (or anything about Motif except the library functions.) There was no printed "user" documentation with the Quest package that applies to Motif (mostly mwm.) The OSF book that is a user guide only mentions a handful (or less) of the resources that mwm can use. So, where do I find a complete list of mwm resources, and how, as Robert Claeson asked, do I disable the mwm default accelerators? Here are my complaints: Rich Fortson bought Quest Motif 1.0 for his Sun-4/330, so I've been running mwm (Motif Window Manager) from it for 3 days now. I think I'll go back to twm soon. I have about 5 complaints. Mwm is too slow. It has fixed sized icons, so my cm icon has only Sunday and Monday of the first two weeks of the month, and my world map with daylight and night shown only shows North and South America. I can't use the meta-space accelerator in xmh to show the next mail message, because mwm brings up the frame menu in xmh instead. I have to click to change focus between windows, and, worse yet, that window is then brought to the front, obscuring what I wanted to see in another, non-focal, window. And I don't have all the neat twm features, like warpto and function keys programmed to iconify, circulate, etc. I suppose I could get some, maybe all, of those features I need by customization, but there's no on-line manual! I'll check to see if Rich's printed manual is more informative. And, now I've gone back to twm, and my icons are still reduced in size!

I found that Quest puts their (cat form only) mwm man page in share/man/catn/mwm.1X.
