Hi folks,

I use version 2.6.8 in debian.

- From the documentation, the following mapping:
   Key Up          A       M       Scroll +0   -10
   Key (mpv) Up A M -

Should bind alt-Up to the Scroll except in mpv window. But it also
scrolls in mpv windown.

So I played a bit around.

When I do the scroll mapping as above but from command line I do
`FvwmCommand 'Key (mpv) Up A M -'`, it does not work.

So I tried `Key (mpv) Up A M Echo Up` which worked and echos the Up.
When I do `Key (mpv) Up A M -` afterwards via FvwmCommand, it does as
expected and mpv get the Up key press.

This works reliable so I decided to put that exact sequence in config
file:
   Key Up          A       M       Scroll +0   -10
   Key (mpv) Up A M Echo Up
   Key (mpv) Up A M -

But then it does not work and only the scroll mapping is done.

So:
- - Is that a known bug?
- - How to do a mapping for everything except in mpv window?
- - What is the difference between `-` and `--` in this context?

Regards
   Klaus
