Ratpoison
ratpoison is a simple window manager with no fancy graphics, no window
decorations, and no fat library dependencies. It is largely modelled
after GNU Screen, a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a
physical terminal between several processes.
The screen can be split into non-overlapping frames. All
windows are kept maximized inside their frames to take full advantage
of your
precious screen real estate.
All interaction with the window manager is done through
keystrokes. ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the key clobbering
that inhibits Emacs
and other quality Linux software.
Features include:
- Extremely configurable
- Very fast, requires little system resources
- No loss of screen real estate on flashy borders
- Only one visable frame, reducing distractions from getting
on with the task in hand
- Works like GNU Screen
