DESCRIPTION
B<rpws> implements multiple workspaces in ratpoison by making calls to fdump, freestore. It was adapted from rpws which comes with ratpoison in the contrib directory.
USAGE
Add the following line in ~/.ratpoisonrc
exec /path/to/rpws init 6 -k
This creates 6 aliases rpws1, rpws2, etc. It also binds the keys M-F1, M-F2, etc to each rpwsN alias. Moreover, rpwsn (Next) and rpwsp (Prev) are created, and C-M-{Right,Left} are bound to rpws{n,p}. Aliases rpwsm1, rpwsm2, etc. and rpwsm{n,p} are used to move the focused window to another workspace.
Full list of keybindings created are:
M-F$i Goto workspace $i C-M-Right Goto Next workspace C-M-Left Goto Prev workspace C-M-S-F$i Move window to workspace $i C-M-greater Move current window to next workspace C-M-less Move current window to prev workspace
FILES
rpws requires use of a lockfile. It defaults to using /tmp/rpws.<UID>.lock but this can be changed by setting the environment variable RPWS_LOCKFILE to your desired lockfile.
