There is no special way in FVWM to get this functionality.
If you take a look at FVWM's FAQ sections 3.5 and 3.6 you can find an info
about xse utility, it creates synthetic X keyboard events.

  ftp://ftp.inria.fr/X/contrib-R5/clients/xse-2.1.tar.Z

Some apps disable syntetic events by default; 'Allow SendEvent' for xterm.

In addition, in fvwm 2.3 versions, you can use $n or $w variables to get
the name or window id of the window in the function's context.

Mikhael.
