Hi,

Your Welcome!

I have another cheat sheet but I will need to find the link. I'll look for it later since I am in the process of specs for a new SOHO Laser for my Florida winter home; http://www.officedepot.com/a/product...inter-Scanner/

Looks good and has a flatbed scanner, one less piece to have on the desktop. Plus the sale price is great.

Here is a good short cuts guide; http://www.unixguide.net/linux/linuxshortcuts.shtml

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

If I'm not in the mood for elvis/vim I tend to gravitate towards jstar. Probably showing my age, but the old Wordstar bindings still seem very comfortable to me even after all this time.

The thing that puts me off TWM is that it doesn't appear to honour
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN

There are other limitations, that's why I include neither a task bar nor a pager in lxpanel's configuration for TWM. But if one wants a very light WM, TWM is a good buy despite its age and having been in maintenance mode since a while

I switched from Fluxbox to Fvwm 2.6.7 (that has full EWMH support) and won't look back anytime soon. Anyway I will keep TWM in Slint for folks who like it.

I don't need FVWM95, I use it. If I used TWM instead I'd 'need' it, conforming to your use of the word.

I recommend launching all one's apps from a command line instead of drawing down a menu and searching for an entry. I suspect it doesn't too much matter what WM one uses if one does as I do.

I just discovered stumpwm, and love everything about it except its name, which reminds me of dead trees, amputated appendages, and problems I can't solve: luckily I'm not the only one, and there is a fork, paulownia, to which I will switch if I ever switch from x11 to wayland!

I've read about half this thread and now that it's 10 pages I don't really know if this is an exercise in merely "blowing one's own horn" since I doubt any of us are likely to change much, but here goes.....

I started using Enlightenment on OS/2 and I loved the upgrade from IBM's default. It was beautiful at no expense in resources and had extreme and useful flexibility for configuration. I really would love to use it in Linux, especially now that I read it has a mode switch between Tiling and WM/DE but graphics and other glitches ruin the experience and I fall back on others. I'll continue to try from time to time though.

I do Full Install and routinely customize Fluxbox, WindowMaker, Xfce, and KDE right from the jump. My boot is always to Runlevel 3 where I often spend considerable time but when I need X, I run KDM as root to get it's Greeter/Chooser/Login screen and from there easily enter whichever WM/DE is on the docket for what I need to do.

I used to run to Fluxbox or WindoMaker a lot, especially for gaming and multimedia work, but for a few years either Xfce or mostly KDE does the trick on decent hardware. I like many Kapps and don't care for many Gnome based apps but I do prefer GParted over the K version. I setup some v3x KDE libraries in opt so I can run KPackage which I use almost daily. I love it's "at a glance" Tabs and ability to use pkgtools to uninstall. This has been especially useful since going Multilib.

While in any terminal, either at boot or in any WM/DE I use vim for text editing. For some jobs while in a Desktop, I use Krun to launch "kdesu kwrite" for text editing. If I know ahead of time I will be editing several files, I just do "kdesu dolphin" and edit with KWrite from there.

I've used Firefox as a descendant of Netscape since they began for me on OS/2 but lately I'm trying to get away from Firefox because of their silly disabling of ALSA support. I very much like Opera but I understand it has some privacy issues so I'm trying to like Palemoon and/or Vivaldi. That remains to be resolved but I use webmail so it may resolve this year. As of now it's Opera in the lead followed by Vivaldi. I don't know why I don't warm to Palemoon but I don't.

In Linux I've never used anything but BASH. I rely on WINE strictly for gaming and some plugin support for DAW work and keep hoping it will get to where I can run my expensive and comfortable old DAW, Sequoia. I've thankfully gotten good with Ardour but Sequoia has many more useful features and I have logged thousands of hours in it so it is hard to just let it go. It will lately launch but it's still glitchy in WINE so it's still progressing. Maybe someday...

I doubt anyone will find this very interesting as I know it's quite eccentric from my odd background and niche work but here it is.

I'm using mc a lot. It's the best. it has it all. from filemanager to ftp/sftp, to picture preview and editor. You don't need much else for files. But, I linked nano in mc as my editor, because I like to stick to one editor. And nano is easy to master as well. I use the combo of mc, nano, tiling console for files/ftp/python/bash stuff. But as main desktop manager I use xfce.

I am using compiz as a standalone wm, with tint2 panel (i`d use lxpanel but cannot find how to configure the font of the taskbar items and how to close them with a middle click).

Love to run openbox too, with compton and skippy-xd.
An application launcher: dmenu2 mostly, nowadays checking out rofi as an alternative.

Text editing: scite, leafpad
Seamonkey suite keeps browsing experience nicely stagnated.
Spacefm for file management tasks.

this thought did fleet by while I was dredging up a 3 year old thread, so I did a quick "search this thread" for stumpwm, and discovered that it was unrepresented, and decided that the OP is not alone with curiosity on all these WMs and tools, and the more thorough the thread the better. Stumpwm is now represented

As far as the emacs / vim flame... flame is a term of love, so flame wars are adequately named; for myself, it has to do with lisp. LISP is approximately 61 years old, and still has a thriving community, with 61 years of shoulders to stand on, and I love it. It is the Latin of functional programming languages. And since emacs has it's own dialect of lisp to extend it with, it is a logical editor of choice for the lispers, just like stumpwm is a logical wm of choice.

Ive also always been intrigued by one person unhindered by politics, outperforming a group hindered by politics: so kudos to Pat! I know he has help these days, and we are a group... But that was what appealed to me about Slackware: a system with a benevolent dictator, that kept it simple... so I chose it as the platform to run lisp on.

Slackware has stood the test of time. Lisp has stood the test of time. Emacs has stood the test of time. And with that time, much has been accomplished that does not need to be reinvented.

I give my humble thanks and regards to these predecessors, whose code I count on every day without even realizing. And to those, like Pat, who I do realize, I try to send material support when I can... Peace.

Thanks all for sharing details.

Have you used(or seen) Lisp at work for creating any commercial thing recently?
