FVWMPROMPT(1)

💖 NAME 💖

FvwmPrompt — bestie, it's a command-shell for fvwm3 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

FvwmPrompt <options>

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so first things first, FvwmPrompt takes these command-line arguments, fr fr:

FvwmPrompt [-p <prompt>]

So basically FvwmPrompt hands you a minimal shell for yeeting commands at fvwm3 — and the way it remembers your history of previous commands?? iconic. 🎀 You can rerun stuff so much easier, no more retyping like a clown. 💅

And yes, the prompt itself can be changed — you are not stuck with the default, you have options queen. But out of the box 📦 the FvwmPrompt interface lowkey looks exactly like this:

*FvwmPrompt 1.0.1 (1.0.0-49-g845f28d85-dirty)

Press ^D or type 'exit' to end this session

>>>

heads up bestie!! 🚨 to bail out of the session you either press ^D or you type 'exit'. those are the two exits, no third option, don't come for me. 😭
