@davefischer Do you happen to have a writeup of this anywhere? It's quite relevant to my fvwm interests (I too have a baroque and extremely custom fvwm-based X environment that will be extremely painful to give up if Wayland ever makes me).

@cksChris Siebenmann @davefischer I've usually done this via Xterm keybindings – it has a built-in action to spawn itself, and automatically detects the child shell's cwd.

XTerm*VT100.translations: #override \n\
Shift Ctrl <Key>C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
Shift Ctrl <Key>V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
Shift Ctrl <Key>N: spawn-new-terminal() \n
