[Rule-list] Another window manager suggestion

[Eugene Wong]

Hi all.

I just checked out the web site again. I read what you said about general 
criteria.

Perhaps you may also be interested in heliwm. The web site is 
http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~hok/heliwm/

"Heliwm" stands for highly essential light itsy-bitsy window manager. I 
looked at the code a while back, and found it difficult to hack. However, 
I've found that the owner/maintainer is more than willing to take 
suggestions. One of the most interesting things about this is the ability to 
use the function keys to raise, lower, maximize, change focus, etc.

I found that using <Tab> key combinations can take care of most of the work. 
For instance, <Alt><Tab> can change focus; <Alt><Shift><Tab> can change in 
the opposite direction; <Ctrl><Tab> can raise; <Ctrl><Shift><Tab> can lower.

The keys that you want are entirely up to you. He has chosen a different set 
of keys to do the above functions. You can even hard code them at compile 
time so that you don't have to refer to an rc file, thus bringing the binary 
down to 14 kB.

This is only a suggestion.
