-.TH RATPOISON 1 "17 February, 2001" "ratpoison 0.0.6" RATPOISON
-.SH NAME
-ratpoison \- fatless X window manager
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B ratpoison [ \fIoptions\fP ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This manual page documents briefly the
-.B ratpoison
-window manager.
-
-This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
-because the original program does not have a manual page.
-Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.
-.PP
-\fBratpoison\fP is a simple Window Manager with no fat library
-dependencies, no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no
-flashy wank. 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
-ratpoison is controlled entirely through the keyboard. The default
-keystrokes are listed in this section.
-.TP
-.B C-t C-t
-Switch to 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 0-9
-Switch to the numbered window.
-.TP
-.B C\-t A,
-.B C\-t C\-A
-Rename the current window. The window's new name will prevail for the
-rest of its lifetime.
-.TP
-.B C\-t K,
-.B C\-t C\-K
-Send a DestroyClient event to the current window. This will terminate
-the application without question.
-.TP
-.B C\-t n,
-.B C\-t C\-n,
-.B C\-t Return,
-.B C\-t C\-Return,
-.B C\-t Space,
-.B C\-t C\-Space,
-Go to next window.
-.TP
-.B C\-t p,
-.B C\-t C\-p
-Go to previous window.
-.TP
-.B C\-t ',
-.B C\-t C\-'
-Go to a window by name. You will usually only need to type the first
-few characters of the window name.
-.TP
-.B C\-t a,
-.B C\-t C\-a
-Display the current time of day.
-.TP
-.B C\-t c,
-.B C\-t C\-c
-Open a new X terminal.
-.TP
-.B C\-t :,
-.B C\-t C\-:
-This allows you to execute a single ratpoison command.
-.TP
-.B C\-t e,
-.B C\-t C\-e
-Run Emacs (you know you want to).
-.TP
-.B C\-t !,
-Run a shell command.
-.TP
-.B C\-t C\-!
-Run a shell command through an X terminal.
-.TP
-.B C\-t k,
-.B C\-t C\-k
-Close the current window.
-.TP
-.B C\-t m,
-.B C\-t C\-m
-Maximize the current window. Sometimes windows don't respond correctly
-to the initial maximize event and need some coaxing. This is a fancy way
-of saying there are still bugs in ratpoison. \fIC\-t m\fP will force the
-current window to maximize.
-.TP
-.B C\-t v,
-.B C\-t C\-v
-Display the version of ratpoison.
-.TP
-.B C\-t w,
-.B C\-t C\-w
-Display the list of managed windows. The current window is highlighted.
-.SH COMMANDS
-Ratpoison can be controlled with commands (so called colon-commands).
-The summary of available commands is listed below:
-.TP
-.B abort
-This is a pretty useless command. By default, it is bound to
-\fIC\-t g\fP, and its purpose is to abort other commands.
-.TP
-.B bind \fIkey\fP \fIcommand\fP
-Bind a key to a ratpoison command. This command takes two arguments: the
-key to bind and the command to run. For example, to bind \fIC\-t R\fP to
-restart ratpoison:
-.IP
-: bind R exec ratpoison --restart
-.PP
-.TP
-.B clock
-Show current time. Disappears after 5 seconds, like all other info bars.
-In the default setup, the \fIC\-t a\fP keystroke is bound to this command.
-.TP
-.B colon \fIcommand\fP
-Run a ratpoison command.
-.TP
-.B delete
-This deletes the current window. You can access it with the \fIC\-t k\fP
-keystroke.
-.TP
-.B escape \fIkey\fP
-Set the prefix to \fIkey\fP. For example
-.IP
-: escape ^b
-.PP
-sets the prefix key to \fIC\-b\fP.
-.TP
-.B generate
-Send a \fIC\-t\fP to the current window.
-.TP
-.B exec \fIcommand\fP
-Execute a shell command. By default, \fIC\-t !\fP does this.
-.TP
-.B kill
-This destroys the current window. Normally you should only need to
-use \fIdelete\fP, but just incase you need to rip the heart out of a
-misbehaving window this command should do the trick. Also available as
-\fIC\-t K\fP.
-.TP
-.B maximize
-Maximize the current window, just like \fIC\-t m\fP would do.
-.TP
-.B next
-This jumps you to the next window in the window list. This one is
-bound to three keystrokes, namely \fIC\-t n\fP, \fIC\-t space\fP,
-and \fIC\-t enter\fP.
-.TP
-.B newwm \fIwindow-manager\fP
-This is a bad-bad command. It kills ratpoison and revives that
-ugly rodent! Yuck! Avoid!
-.TP
-.B other
-This toggles between the current window and the last window. By
-default, this is bound to \fIC\-t C\-t\fP.
-.TP
-.B prev
-This jumps you to the previous window in the window list. By default,
-this is bound to \fIC\-t p\fP.
-.TP
-.B select \fIn\fP
-This jumps you to window \fIn\fP where \fIn\fP is the window number as
-shown in the Program Bar. You can do the same trick with
-\fIC\-n\fP too.
-.TP
-.B select \fIwindow-name\fP
-Go to a window by name. A shortcut is \fIC\-t '\fP.
-.TP
-.B source \fIfile\fP
-Read a text file containing ratpoison commands.
-.TP
-.B title \fItitle\fP
-Rename the currently active window. This name will remain for the
-duration of the window's life, unless you change it again. By default,
-the \fIC\-t A\fP keystroke is bound to this command.
-.TP
-.B version
-Print ratpoison version. By default, this is bound to \fIC\-t v\fP.
-.TP
-.B windows
-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 do this by typing \fIC\-t n\fP where \fIn\fP
-is the number of the window. Note that only windows with numbers from
-0 to 9 can be referenced using this keystoke. To reach windows with
-numbers greater than 9, use \fIC\-t '\fP and type the number at the
-prompt.
-
-After 5 seconds the Program Bar disappears.
-
-This command is bound to \fIC\-t w\fP by default.
