Package: ion2 (20040729-3)

Keyboard-friendly window manager with tiled windows (v2)

Ion, based on PWM, is an unusual window manager with no overlapping windows. Windows are placed in tabbed frames which may be arbitrarily split to create additional frames, making keyboard navigation much easier. Flexible configuration is possible thanks to Lua, which is used as the configuration language.

There is also support for so-called "floating workspaces" where windows are managed the conventional way, so that you can still run applications which do not fit very well into Ion's window management approach. A pwm2 binary is included which starts Ion with floating workspaces as the default, thus replacing the now obsolete PWM window manager.

This is Ion version 2.
