Notion is a static tiling, tabbed window manager for the X window system.

Notion simply divides the screen into frames that take the whole screen.
Big displays have so much space that this is convenient and smaller
displays couldn't show more than one window at a time anyway. The frames
can be split and growing the size of one will shrink others.

Notion is the successor of Ion3, which has been discontinued in 2009.

Default Keybindings
===================

The notion default keybindings assume a standard US keyboard layout. In
some situations, default keys cannot be mapped because they are either
not available (for example grave key on a Germany layout) or Caps_Lock
(when you mapped Ctrl or Esc to it).

When starting notion, a popup will show you which key bindings it was
not able to map.

You can adjust bindings system wide by editing
${SYSCONFDIR}/notion/cfg_bindings.lua or only for your user by copying
${LOCALBASE}/share/examples/notion/cfg_bindings.lua to ~/.notion.

$ mkdir ~/.notion/
$ cp ${LOCALBASE}/share/examples/notion/cfg_bindings.lua ~/.notion/

Then adjust the binding that causes trouble. For example by searching
for "grave" or "Caps_Lock" and assigning another key.

Extensive documentation on keybindings and general notion configuration
can be found in the "Documentation" section on the notion website:
