37 has the same syntax as in the
38 <fvwmref cmd="Mouse"/> or <fvwmref cmd="Key"/>
39 bindings, with the addition of 'L' meaning the
40 <keysym>caps lock</keysym>
41 key. The default is "L".

43 can be omitted, meaning no modifiers are ignored. This command

51 modifier and '5' refers to the
52 <keysym>scroll-lock</keysym>
53 key. To turn all these pesky modifiers off you can use this

62 argument is the string "<fvwmopt cmd="IgnoreModifiers" opt="default"/>", fvwm reverts back to the
63 default value "L".</para>
66 This command creates a lot of extra network traffic, depending on
67 your CPU, network connection, the number of

69 commands in your configuration file and the number of modifiers
70 you want to ignore. If you do not have a lightning fast machine
71 or very few bindings you should not ignore more than two
72 modifiers. I.e. do not ignore
73 <keysym>scroll-lock</keysym>
74 if you have no problem with it. In the
75 <emphasis remap='I'>FAQ</emphasis>
76 you can find a better solution of this problem.</important></para>
