I gave a short lightening talk about my mouse-less environment
yesterday. Some people emailed me questions about it. So here is the
summary:
- editor: vim
completely mouse-less operation
http://www.vim.org
- window manager: wmii
It's a panel window manger, like ratpoison, larswm, and ion3.
If you run wmii, I recommend using version 3.0 and wmii+ruby script
for your event loop. wmii comes with a bash script that is rather
slow.
I've blogged about this, so I will avoid repeating myself:

There instructions about wmii+ruby on debian here:

- browser: firefox2 + vimperator
vimperator is a javascript/XUL application that redefines the
interface to firefox 2.
It attempts to provide an authentic VIM interface in firefox.

There is only one thing that I am stuck selecting text in right now, and
that's an xterm. I hope to get that fixed by switching to urxvt and
writing some perl plugins. I am trying to get Dave O'Neill to write
this for me, since he is a perl guru :)
Enjoy.
