Ratpoison is a simple window manager with no large library dependencies,
no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no rodent dependence. It
is largely modeled after GNU Screen, which has done wonders in the
virtual terminal market. All interaction with the window manager is done
through keystrokes. ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the key
clobbering that cripples EMACS and other quality pieces of software. All
windows are maximized and kept maximized to avoid wasting precious
screen space.
