Ratpoison config files

Euphoric Nightmare · 2005-09-04 21:38:50

I've noticed that the arch ratpoison package doesn't include any config files. I don't think its supposed to do include them anyway.

I think it might be a good idea to package up some basic configuration. What does everyone else think?

I don't think we need any packaged-up. Maybe just have a thread for
~/.ratpoisonrc files.

Here's mine.

exec rpws -i
exec rpws -b
unbind c
bind c exec aterm -fg white -bg black +sb > /dev/null 2>&1
bind F12 exec firefox
definekey top M-Tab next
definekey top M-n focusdown
definekey top M-p focusup
definekey top M-l focusright
definekey top M-h focusleft
bind M-exclam exec ratpoison -c fdump > ~/.rp_dump
bind M-at exec ratpoison -c "frestore `cat ~/.rp_dump`"
bind a exec ratpoison -d :0.0 -c "echo `date +'%r - %A %n    %D - %B'`  `cal | tail -n +2 | sed -e 's/^Su/nn Su/' -e 's/.*/ & /' -e "s/ $(date +%e) /<$(date +%e)>/"`"
bind x exec ratpoison -c "resize 0 480"

Here's mine:
http://phraktured.net/.ratpoisonrc

The only one missing is the /etc one, and there is no default ratpoisonrc provided with the package, hence no default config

There is sample.ratpoisonrc under doc directory in ratpoison sources. Maybe it should be installed in /usr/share/ratpoison ?
There are also some good examples you can find with google like this one:
http://reactor-core.org/ratpoison-config.html
(including usage of ratmenu, xbindkeys and others).

For the record, bindkeys is no longer needed, as the "bindkey top" does the exact same thing - bindkeys was useful with RP because you could only bind keys to the existing keychain (the root keymap) - i.e. you always had to hit the escape key first...

ratmenu, I never liked... what I'd like to do is produce a little app to work like vim's wildmenu and wmi/wmii's "execute" command....
