Well, it seems that someone is reading this after all.
So, tonight I have been given a pointer to raggle. I guess I need to install ruby to try it out…
Thanks to Philip McClure for the pointer.
Updates after I try it out some…
Why would a web site dedicated to the CLI have a section on Window Managers? Well, simple.
Some times, you just have to have X running. Some web sites I have to do research at use Flash, or photo editing/managing, or my iPod (none of the CLI tools let me manage play lists very easily).
Plus, I cannot get the same resolution on the console as I can under X.
So, what is a CLI user to do? Why, get a Window Manager (wm) that is meant for us!
The features I look for include small footprint and full keyboard integration. The current one I use is wmi-10, but it is no longer under active development. The group working on it has moved to on to wmii, but I do not like the changes, so I am off looking for a new one to use.
From time to time, I will post how my search is going so you can see what is out there.
Software
So,
What major apps do I use daily? Well, this is the list of apps that I currently use daily:
- bash - my shell of choice
- screen - a shell multiplexer and more
- mutt-ng - a mua on steroids
- centericq - IM. How do you stay in touch?
- snownews - an RSS feed reader
- calcurse - a calendar/todo manger
- bashblogger - the CMS for this site
There are a few more, but I need to find URLs for them.
