Description-en: keyboard-only window manager
ratpoison is a simple window manager with no fancy graphics,
no window decorations, and no rodent dependence.
It is largely modelled after GNU Screen.
.
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
key clobbering.
