StumpWM

A keyboard-oriented X11 frame manager written in Common Lisp, where users can interactively evaluate Lisp and extend commands, bindings and window policies. It arranges windows in frames and named groups rather than relying on a conventional desktop panel, and its configuration is Lisp code. StumpWM followed Ratpoison’s keyboard-driven interface goals while replacing its C implementation with Common Lisp.
