 |
|
Hey I'm just trying out ratpoison which seems very nice except for the fact that none of the keyboard commands seem to work for me, C-t c doesn't do a thing, neither do any other commands that I have tried. All I can think of is that the problem is that I use Dvorak keymap, but that shouldn't matter right?

Gentoo's ratpoisonrc seems to default the command prefix to C-a instead of C-t, for GNU screen compatibility. You should be able to change it back to C-t by putting in your ~/.ratpoisonrc |

| I had the same problem, I could not get any commands to work. I created a blank .ratpoisonrc file, and that fixed it. |

So C-t is a Gnu screen command, but ratpoison grabs this first? Isn't there some way to pass a keyboard command to the active window?
By the way what is a good browser to use with RP, I normally use Firefox in fluxbox but I'm guessing it wouldn't be as usable in ratpoison?
