It is largely modelled after GNU Screen 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. + + You'll also be pleased to hear that there is NO ratpoison.conf to +configure. If you want to configure ratpoison, edit the source. + + ratpoison was written by Shawn Betts +(). + + +File: ratpoison.info, Node: Contacting, Next: Using ratpoison, Prev: About, Up: Top + +Contacting +********** + + ratpoison is hosted on .

Each window is maximized +and has no border decorations. Here is a list of commands and what they +do: + +`C-t C-c' + This opens a new XTerm. + +`C-t C-e' + This opens a new EMACS session. You will probably only need to do + this once. + +`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 `C-t C-' + where `' 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. + +`C-t C-p' + This jumps you to the previous window in the window list. + +`C-t C-n' + This jumps you to the next window in the window list. + +`C-t C-' + This jumps you to window where is the window number as + shown in the Program Bar. + +`C-t C-t' + This toggles between the current window and the last window. + +`C-t t' + Sometimes you need to send a C-t to the current window. This + keystroke does just that. + + + +Tag Table: +Node: Top1005 +Node: About1280 +Node: Contacting1998 +Node: Using ratpoison2509 + +End Tag Table -- cgit v1.2.3
