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
