Ratpoison

Ratpoison is a simple window manager with no large library dependencies, fancy graphics, or window decorations. All interaction with the window manager is done through keystrokes. Ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the key clobbering, and all windows are maximized and kept maximized to avoid wasting screen space.
