================================
Yes, give ratpoison a try.  If that's a bit too spartan, try ion3 or
wmii.  These are all recommended WMs for "powerusers".  Have fun trying
them out.  You'll need to read the documentation but they are all highly
configurable, especially in terms of keybindings.
Best,
Mike
