	Ion (X window manager) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is designed such that it is possible to manage windows using only a keyboard, without needing a mouse.
		First versions of Ion were released under the Artistic License, while Ion2 and Ion3 (still under development) are released under the LGPL.
		Ion is still being actively developed by its original creator Tuomo Valkonen with the help of a growing Ion user community.

	X window manager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows platforms, which have historically provided a vendor-controlled, fixed set of ways to control how windows and panes display on a screen, and how the user may interact with them, window management for the X Window System was deliberately kept separate from the software providing the graphical display.
		Additionally, most modern window manager are reparenting, which usually lead to a banner being placed at the top of the window and a decorative frame being drawn around the window.
		While the main aim of window manager is, as suggested by its name, to manage the windows, many window managers have additional features such as handling mouse clicks in the root window, present panes and other visual elements, handling some keystrokes (e.g., Alt-F4 may iconify a window), deciding which application to run at start-up, etc.

	Ion
		Attaching multiple client windows to a single frame (or "tabbing" them) as introduced in PWM helps keeping the windows organised in some cases but still, this does not help with programs that have multiple windows for manipulating a single document and the navigation possibilities are far from perfect.
		Ion was written as an experiment on a different kind of window management model.
		Ion is, however, improving all the time and if you take the time to get used to it, you should hardly ever have to touch the mouse again to move between windows.

	LinuxPlanet - Opinions - The StartX Files: Of Mice and Finns - Giving The Two-Fingered Salute
		I know this idea will seem to run counter to this week's introduction of a keyboard-centric window manager, but I felt like the mouse folks should get a fair shake out of this week's column, too.
		This is good timing, considering what I will be reviewing in the weeks ahead: window managers that for the most part try to avoid the use of the mouse altogether.
		Even without the favoritism for the Land of the Finns, PWM and ion would certainly be high on my list.

	HOWTO make Ion Window Manager work for me
		Start the windowing system known as X using the old 'xinit' command, rather than the newfangled 'startx' command.
		By default, ion is using "mod1" for its special key (notice the "Alt_L" by "mod1").
		The flying window keys are probably Mod3 -- or Mod4; see the output of 'xmodmap'.
