Re: Configuring ratpoison

Hi,

I installed Ratpoison along with the Strychnine and tried to follow the guidelines. While this seems to be a great offering, I seem to have issues with the ALT+F1 menu: it does not start the main menu. I removed the qemu.desktop from the /usr/share/applications, but still Orca does
not announce the menu.

Any hints on how else to proceed?

Thanks, I almost got that correct. I'll remove the .ratpoisonrc file and
run the setup.sh script again.

Right. It should go like this:

Select your Ratpoison key. It comes up with a bunch of options. C- is control,
M is either alt or shift

Super_L is what I go for, left Super key
Then if you got multiple browsers, text editors and so on it'll ask you which one, then it'll ask if you want Ratpoison to make sounds, how many workspaces, and if you want braille, then after that you'll have a .ratpoisonrc file

Next, either back up your existing xinitrc somewhere safe, or do ./setup.sh -x
to make a new .xinitrc with Ratpoison settings then do startx
