Ratpoison Window Manager

A keyboard-centric tiled WindowManager for LinuxOs with ridiculously small dependencies that aims to remove the need for a mouse. Similar to IonWindowManager and GNU screen (ScreenMultiplexor).

I like the keyboard-only idea. The problem is that it stops at the WindowManager: many programs still rely on a mouse - so you still have to move your hands back and forth between them. Maybe one day... who knows

Another nice SideEffect of using a window manager like ratpoison without title bars and all windows in full-screen is the reduction of wasted ScreenRealEstate.
