C-t e

C-t C-e

C-t t

C-t w

C-t C-w

Prints out a list of all the windows, their number, and their name.

C-t RET

C-t C-RET

C-t C-t

Switch to the last window to have focus in the current frame.

C-t !

Prompt for a shell command to run via ‘/bin/sh’. All output is discarded.

C-t R

If the screen is split into multiple frames, one split will be undone. If there is only one split, the effect will be the same as C-t Q.

C-t o

C-t TAB

If the screen is split into multiple frames, focus shifts to the next frame, where it cycles to the right and then down; analogous to C-x o in Emacs.

C-t F

Display “Current Frame” in the frame which has focus.

C-t ;

Opens the input box. StumpWM commands can be run from here, and the input history moved through.

Opens the input box, but all things typed in here will be sent to the Common Lisp interpreter where they will be run as Lisp programs; thus, input should be valid Common Lisp.

C-t C-h

C-t ?

Hide all frames and show the root window.

C-t Q

Removes all splits and maximizes the frame with focus.
