What is the function of xchainkeys ? And what is ratpoison window ?
Last time my wife saw rat from our window, I had to use ratpoison, but I believe this has nothing to do with it.

pemasu,

Nothing to fear - ratpoison is a window manager that uses only the keyboard to provide function (no mouse movements) :D

see- http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/

You can experience what this is like by trying out the Vimperator plugin for firefox which controls all browser functions by keyboard only.

Cheers,

Hmm, sounds useful. Reminds me of times, when I used 386 diskless machine which booted from netware 3.12 server the OS, great DOS 5.0 and our working app used keyboard only. Ram was about 2 Mb if I remember right.
I miss those times :) ..... strictly maybe.

You could compare it a little with a shortcut-menu one shortcut opens a group the second does the action.

if you want to test ratpoison (nice phrase), there is an older package here:
