# ratpoison Ratpoison is a tiling window manager that allows the user to manage applications without a mouse. The user interface is inspired by GNU Screen. It comes with a small set of default keybindings, which are all initiated by `Ctrl-t`. Configuration is done in `~/.ratpoisonrc`. Note that you can't use the mouse to focus windows. This makes it somewhat unusual to use. The most important default keybindigs are: * Ctrl-t ?: show keybindings * Ctrl-t c: open a new terminal * Ctrl-t n: switch to next window * Ctrl-t N: switch to next monitor * Ctrl-t s: v-split * Ctrl-t S: h-split * Ctrl-t Q: fullscreen/monocle layout **Website**: [https://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/](https://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/) ## RAM Usage On: Artix Linux |Command |Version |[USS](/doku.php/glossary#uss) |[PSS](/doku.php/glossary#pss) |[RSS](/doku.php/glossary#rss)| |---|---|---|---|---| |ratpoison |1.4.9|4328|5213|8632| ## Rating * Lightweightness: ++++ * Simpleness: ++++ * Easiness: ++ [About Rating](/doku.php/about#rating)
