-Description: keyboard-friendly window manager with tiled windows
- 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.
+Description: tiling tabbed window manager designed for keyboard users
+ Ion divides the screen into tiles and places windows in these tiles
+ by default. Each tile has a set of tabs for the windows within it.
+ It also allows windows to be made 'floating' and placed freely. Ion
+ can be controlled through the keyboard alone or together with a mouse.
.
- 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 pwm3 binary is included which starts Ion with floating
- workspaces as the default, thus replacing the now obsolete PWM window
- manager.
+ Ion can be configured and extended using the Lua language. It also
+ supports extension modules written in C.
+ .
+ This package provides Ion version 3. Ion version 2 is available in
+ the ion2 package.
