About
-----
ratpoison 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 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.
Building
--------
ratpoison uses autoconf. To build it:
$ ./configure && make
if you want to install it, simply type 'make install' as a privileged user:
# make install
Customization
-------------
Use the configure option '--enable-debug' to enable debugging symbols.
Use the configure option '--disable-history' to disable the filesystem rat.
Use the configure option '--with-xterm=PROG' to set the x terminal
emulator to use. The default is `xterm'.
Consult the INSTALL file for more information about the configure script.
Using
-----
See the info manual for more information.
