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. -.SH OPTIONS -These are the command line options that are recognized by ratpoison: -.TP -\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-restart\fR -restart ratpoison -.TP -\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-kill\fR -kill ratpoison -.TP -\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR -output version information and exit -.TP -\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR -display this help and exit -.SH "REPORTING BUGS" -Report bugs to <ratpoison-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>. -.SH COPYRIGHT -Copyright \(co 2000, 2001 Shawn Betts -.br -This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
