The man page says this is valid, but I've never used it. I always use the first location mentioned, i.e. ~/.fvwm/config.

To solve your problem you can add these keyboard bindings and reload the configuration:
Code:
Key	Left	A	CM	Move w-25p keep
Key	Right	A	CM	Move w+25p keep
Key	Up	A	CM	Move keep w-25p
Key	Down	A	CM	Move keep w+25p
Just activate your browser's window and use Ctrl + Alt + an arrow key to move it. Change the key combinations and distance (25 pixels) as you see fit.

And to make your life easier, add these items to your root menu:
Code:
+ "Reload configuration" Read config
+ "Restart fvwm" Restart
These are pretty straightforward: the first rereads the configuration file named config and the second does a full restart of fvwm.

You must write functions to do that (and everything else) and "enable" these functions by linking them to mouse/keyboard bindings or menu items.
