I am trying to get ratpoison working the same way as ratpoison in Debian in SLINT which is slackware Internetional and for the visually impaired.
My darned memory isn't very good and Debian has key bindings so if I use C-t then : I get a window and I can enter "menu" and get a menu. For me, a menu is a needed crutch for my poor short term memory, Debian does this, but Slackware doesn't do this, and I'm trying to figure out "WHY?" So I thought it was the ratpoisonrc file. Debian doesn't have a ratpoisonrc file either under /etc/ratpoisonrc or in ~/.ratpoisonrc Debian ratpoison is version 1.4.9 Slint ratpoison is version 1.4.9 also. I attach my ~/.ratpoisonrc file from Debian. With great hopes that I can have a menu in Slackware / SLINT. Regards, David Ring
