How To Install sdorfehs on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install sdorfehs on CentOS 8.
What is sdorfehs
sdorfehs (pronounced “starfish”) is a tiling window manager descended from ratpoison (which itself is modeled after GNU Screen). sdorfehs divides the screen into one or more frames, each only displaying one window at a time but can cycle through all available windows (those which are not being shown in another frame). Like Screen, sdorfehs primarily uses prefixed/modal key bindings for most actions. sdorfehs’s command mode is entered with a configurable keystroke which then allows a number of bindings accessible with just a single keystroke or any other combination.
