howto - some basic ion / notion keybinds
After few years with fluxbox it was time to search for something else. Inspired by a friend of mine i searched for tiling window manager.
The ion has some legal problems, i tried out a fork called notion. After a reading the man page and using the windowmanager for a view hours, it is impressive how great it works out of the box. There is also another fork called anion3, just to mention it.
There is a already builded package for debian/amd64 behind this link.
Thats why i started writing my howto and want to present it to you but also to me ;-). The "mod1" key should be "alt"-left but you can figure it out by calling "xmodmap" on your console.

Refering to the Notion Keybinds i have created a printout. Have fun with it. Current builds can be found at sourceforge.net An tutorial is available on the official wiki-page.
