Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

It's really sad to see so few Ratpoison users.
Here's my updated config. I decided I (finally) want workspaces in Ratpoison, but I could never get around the idea of using rpws. I simply don't like it, not as long as Ratpoison has it's own workspace-like system built in. So I did something a wee hackish, but it provides me with all that I need, and once more proves how awesome this wm is. The real awesome, not THAT one *wink* smile

The only serious problem that this setup has is that it destroys the frame setup when switching groups. More hacking would be possible, make it dump the frame layout and restore when switching back to the group, but I rarely use it in a non-fullscreen manner, so this is just fine for me.
I'll be answering any question that you got regarding any of the settings/bindings (new users of course, veterans will have 0 problems with understanding every bit of it)

As an extra, for whoever does not know this already (I have received 2-3 emails concerning this subject), the built-in messaging system CAN output multi-line text!
As a brief example, here's my ratinfo.sh

#!/bin/sh
TEMP=$(cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature | awk '{print $2"C"}')
FREQ=$(cpufreq-info | awk '/current CPU frequency/ {print $5"MHz"}')
DATE=$(echo -n $(date +%B,\ %d\ -\ %I:%M\ %p))
SDA2=$(df -h | awk '/sda2/ {print $4"/"$2}')
ratpoison -c "echo `echo -e "Storage: $SDA2\nCPUFreq: $FREQ\nTemperature: $TEMP\n$DATE"`"

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

Anyone knows if it'd be possible to use a single escape key rather than a key sequence ?
Super/Mod4/Win-key doesn't clobber any of my applications keybindings, and I usually use it for WM mappings.
What I'm really trying to achieve here, is get rid of key sequences for rp commands, so i could just type mod4-c to launch a term...

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

Have a look at my config.
For example:

definekey top M-m exec $(dmenu_path | dmenu -nb "#000000" -nf "#f44c31" -sb "#f44c31" -sf "#000000" -fn "-*-terminus-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")

Spawns dmenu on ALT + m (M being META). You need to define top level keys to avoid using the escape mechanism

yup that works fine, but I'd like to avoid redefining all the default keybindings with s-... in the config file.
It seems I could use "escape less" and some xmodmap trickery, as described here, but for now my arch setup is in virtualbox (lame, I know...) and I can't get any keycodes out of xev...

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

So you don't want top level keys, you just want the escape to be one single key?
If so, again, read my last config. It uses Caps Lock (useless key) as escape. Just uncomment

#exec xmodmap -e 'clear Lock' -e 'keycode 66 = F13'
#escape F13

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

Lol, binding for Diablo 2. As much as I love the game, don't make bindings like that, you may start it accidentaly...
Also sourcing command files instead of adding the commands to the main rc doesn't help at all, just leaves you with two files instead of one. This is one main aspect of RP, the fact that you configure everything with one single text file.
My 2 cents

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

Well, the .ratunbind doesn't clutter my main rc, I hated that before I got the .ratunbind, every time I had to change something in the rc I had to scroll through all the unbinds.

I should actually remove the diablo bind, I'm not playing it anymore. I've actually never pressed it faulty in a few months time big_smile


Maybe I should say that the binds are in dvorak, it makes more sense that way =p

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

exec ratpoison -c "source .config/.ratunbind > /dev/null"

Is that really necessary? I don't know much about ratpoison, but I'd think you could strip out the exec ratpoison -c and just put source .config/.ratunbind, since ratpoison actually executes the commands in the rc file..

Well, the .ratunbind doesn't clutter my main rc, I hated that before I got the .ratunbind, every time I had to change something in the rc I had to scroll through all the unbinds.

Then have the unbinds at the end of the rc? =P .. even though I find them rather redundant, binds always act when in command mode so just...don't use them, no need for unbinds.

Is that really necessary? I don't know much about ratpoison, but I'd think you could strip out the exec ratpoison -c and just put source .config/.ratunbind, since ratpoison actually executes the commands in the rc file..

No clue, it works, so I'm happy =p. I might try it your way just to see if it works.

@lich:  If I have the unbinds at the end it would unbind everything that I bind before it, I could ofcourse filter out those unbinds, but that's more unnecessary work. I seem to have something against having things that I don't use, when binding in tremulous I abuse the 'unbindall' command, and I do the same with ratpoison. For some reason I hate having useless binds.

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

I do the same thing. No sense in having bindings to actions I don't want to use purposefully or accidentally. I don't see the loss in having a 1000byte file, hidden and out of the way, to unbind them and clean up both the rc file and ratpoison's command list. Personal preference I guess!

@JohannesSM64: You're right. There's no need in having exec ratpoison -c "source.. ". I didn't even think about that even though I have plain ole' commands sitting in the file right next to it tongue

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

I'm thinking of trying out ratpoison sometime.  It looks like a really cool window manager.  I also would like to try out dwm sometime, but I'll have to wait until I have some time off school.

I do really like the keyboard gallery that they have on the ratpoison page: http://ratpoison.antidesktop.net/wiki/Keyboard_Gallery

That inspired me, I'm right now halfways done with making my own happy-hacking keyboard, as seen in the mvm-kbd screen. I'm not spraypainting mine though. I'll post a picture when I'm done big_smile

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

I must confess I still use a mouse, one of those keyboards would be an inconvenient for me. There are a few things that I can't really do without the damn rat. I like ratpoison's minimalism a lot, but I don't want this to ruin my linux experience. I mainly use the mouseless control only for wm specific navigation (group switching, window cycling, application launch, and of course, every app that runs inside tmux). But for Firefox and Thunar...mouse all the way smile

The only time I use a mouse is when gaming. Uzbl is my only graphical program, except for xterm, and I run that with 100% keyboard.

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

I think I migth be missing the point here, since rp has no floating layer, but I've been using bashrun lately, and it'd be nice if I could get it to spawn on top of all other windows with a fixed size.
Setting it to unmanaged, it is opened usually behind the current window, is there a way to fix this ?

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

none. If you want to run floating apps, you use tmpwm with a lightweight wm like evil. RP has not and will never have a floating layer. It's not for the faint at heart smile

Re: Share your Ratpoison (experience)

Not to advertise other wm's in the ratpoison thread but maybe musca is more your speed. It acts alot like ratpoison but you can float/control specific frames/apps. Something to think about if you're not finding what you want in ratpoison. smile
