Ion is a window manager with tiling and PWM-style tabbed frames, allowing for multiple windows. No overlapping windows are included in the design.
Ion was designed with keyboard users in mind, providing an efficient and unobtrusive window manager that's easy to use. However, this UI might not be perfect for every user, but that's expected since no interface can satisfy every user's preferences. To overcome these challenges, applications should be developed independently of their user interfaces, with UIs built according to the user's preference based on high-level semantic descriptions of the command provided by the app.
Ion is continually improving, making it easier to use and navigate, reducing the need to use a mouse. However, note that some programs might not be compatible with Ion because of presumptions about the window management model or incompliance with the ICCCM. Terminal-based programs will work flawlessly, making the overall experience less cumbersome.
If you take some time to get used to Ion, the tiling window management style, and intuitive keyboard shortcuts, you'll hardly ever have to touch the mouse again. It's a great software that provides an innovative way to manage your workspace, making you more productive and organized.
