    rpws n                 - switch to this workspace

DESCRIPTION

    B<rpws> implements multiple workspaces in ratpoison by making calls
    to fdump, freestore.  It was adapted from rpws which comes with
    ratpoison in the contrib directory.

USAGE

   Add the following line in ~/.ratpoisonrc

        exec /path/to/rpws init 6 -k

   This creates 6 aliases rpws1, rpws2, etc. It also binds the keys M-F1,
   M-F2, etc to each rpwsN alias. Moreover, rpwsn (Next) and rpwsp (Prev)
   are created, and C-M-{Right,Left} are bound to rpws{n,p}. Aliases
   rpwsm1, rpwsm2, etc. and rpwsm{n,p} are used to move the focused window
   to another workspace.

   Full list of keybindings created are:

       M-F$i           Goto workspace $i
       C-M-Right       Goto Next workspace
       C-M-Left        Goto Prev workspace
       C-M-S-F$i       Move window to workspace $i
       C-M-greater     Move current window to next workspace
       C-M-less        Move current window to prev workspace

FILES

    rpws requires use of a lockfile.  It defaults to using
   /tmp/rpws.<UID>.lock but this can be changed by setting the
   environment variable RPWS_LOCKFILE to your desired lockfile.
