Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : wmi Version : 7 Upstream Author : Anselm R. Garbe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://wmi.berlios.de/ * License : MIT Description : Window Manager Improved
WMI is a new, minimalistic window manager for X11, which combines the best features of LarsWM, Ion, TrsWM, evilwm and ratpoison into one window manager. . WMI is highly customizable: it is designed with keyboard users in mind. Each action (e.g. resizing the frame, creating a new workspace, launching an app, note that WMI provides hundreds of actions) can be bind to a shortcut. So say good-bye to the rodent :) . WMI is the vim among the window managers: its main user interaction is oriented on the two modes of the famous vi editor - command mode and normal mode. In WMI the command mode is called input mode and supports the context-sensitive execution of actions. Outside this mode, only actions which are bind to a shortcut can be invoked. . WMI is flexible: it is able to arrange multiple clients in one frame in a maximized way, like Ion does, or to arrange them floating on a layer of the workspace. The track behavior of larswm can be emulated through using two or more frames in a neighbor arrangement. . WMI is simple to customize: there's no Lua bungling for customization of the WMI, like Ion or TrsWM does. Only simple property files, which are maintainable without the knowledge of yet another turing complete scripting language. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.18 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
