It is largely modelled after \fIGNU Screen\fP which +has done wonders in virtual terminal market. + +All interaction with the window manager is done through +keystrokes. ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the key +clobbering that cripples EMACS and other quality pieces of +software. +.SH KEYSTROKES +.TP +.B C\-t C\-c +This opens a new XTerm. +.TP +.B C\-t C\-e +This opens a new EMACS session. You will probably only need to do this +once. +.TP +.B C\-t C\-w +This displays the Program Bar which displays the windows you currently +have running. The number before each window name is used to jump to that +window. You can to this by typing \fBC\-t C\-<n>\fP where \fI<n>\fP is the +number of the window. Note that only windows with numbers from 0 to 9 +can be referenced. + +After 5 seconds the Program Bar disappears. +.TP +.B C\-t C\-p +This jumps you to the previous window in the window list. +.TP +.B C\-t C\-n +This jumps you to the next window in the window list. +.TP +.B C\-t C\-<n> +This jumps you to window <n> where <n> is the window number as shown in +the Program Bar. +.TP +.B C\-t C\-t +This toggles between the current window and the last window. +.TP +.B C\-t t +Sometimes you need to send a C\-t to the current window. This keystroke +does just that. +.TP +.B C\-t C\-k +This deletes the current window. +.TP +.B C\-t C\-K +This destroys the current window. Normally you should only need to +use `C-t k', but just incase you need to rip the heart out of a +misbehaving window this command should do the trick. +.TP +.B C\-t C\-a +Rename the currently active window. This name will remain for the +duration of the window's life. +.TP +.B C\-t C\-' +Go to a window by name. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +The full documentation for +.B ratpoison +is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the +.B info +and +.B ratpoison +programs are properly installed at your site, the command +.IP +.B info ratpoison +.PP +should give you access to the complete manual. +.SH AUTHOR +This manual page was written by Gergely Nagy <8@free.bsd.hu>, +for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). |
