ratpoison patchset

Description

This patch, against the CVS version of ratpoison, currently adds this list of features:

• key sequences binding

History

• It has been a long time :)
• I dropped frameset support, since that diff was very incompatible with the current ratpoison CVS. I need to rework it out completely. Plus, Shawn already added 'groups' support to ratpoison, please read the FAQ. Anyway, if you would like to play with the old patch, download version 0.1 of the patchset below.
• Also dropped split enhancement, since it was merged into ratpoison.
• Added key sequences binding. This allows emacs-like sequences of keystrokes, for instance:

  #
  # Frame splitting
  #
  
  unbind s
  bind "s w" split
  bind "s x" split
  bind "s d" vsplit
  bind "s a" vsplit
  bind "s Up" split
  bind "s Down" split
  bind "s Right" vsplit
  bind "s Left" vsplit
  bind "s s" only
  
  #
  # Execution
  #
  
  unbind e
  bind "e s h" exec rxvt
  bind "e m a i l" exec rxvt -e "mutt"
  bind "e o f f" exec xset dpms force off
  bind "e x e c" colon exec

patchset-0.1.diff

• Applied Henrik Enberg's select and name fix
• Renamed from 'frmaeset' to 'vscreen' (makes more sense)
• Integrated the frame split enhancement patch
• Added last_vscreen
• Fixed down_vscreen so that is switches to the last used sibling instead of the first one.
• Updated the texi info file for documentation about the vscreen commands

October 15, 2002 - Released version 0.0v
virtual screens support:
This patch allows a ratpoison user to manage different sets of frame configurations, thus adding a virtual screens type of functionality. The semantics are:

• A virtual screen is defined as a the frames that compose one screen, specifing all there is about these frames: size, mapped windows, etc.
• When ratpoison boots up, there's only one virtual screen.
• ratpoison maintains a navigatable (and namespaced) tree of virtaul screens.
• To create a new vscreen, one runs 'push_vscreen', and ratpoison does something familiar to fork(): it copies the current vscreen and sets the copy as a leaf in a tree for the current vscreen.
• Any changes on the child vscreens does not affect the parent vscreens.
• Switching between vscreens is like switching between virtual desktops (in other window managers)
• A window can appear in more than one vscreen.
• You can name a vscreen, like naming a window.
• When switching to a vscreen, its path is shown in a message. The path is a :-seperated list of vscreen names, such as :root:foo:bar.
• push_vscreen - create a new frames et from the current one, set as a leaf and switch to it.
• pop_vscreen - destroy the current frame along with its children and switch to its father.
• down_vscreen - switch to the last used child vscreen.
• up_vscreen - switch to the parent vscreen.
• next_vscreen - switch to a next sibling vscreen.
• prev_vscreen - switch to a prevoous sibling vscreen.
• name_vscreen - set the name of the current vscreen.
• select_vscreen - switch to a vscreen with the given name.
• last_vscreen - switch to the last vscreen used.
