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.

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
