After a while though I just wanted to have some kind of tiling window manager that would help me make use of space. After going through ratpoison and ion3, I found wmii which i've acclimated to. The bindings seemed much more in line with the shortcuts i was familiar with from gnu screen.

among common keys i use:
hjkl to scroll up/down, switch tab left-right
shift+hjkl to navigate the links
/ for syntax highligting
n/N for next/prev search
g/G for top/bottom of page
C-a/e/h/b/u/k/w for emacs keybindings when doing textarea
[/] for prev/next link (follows alt=”" tag in html)
command+[/] for prev/next tab switching
] for opening a link (after shift+hjkl) in page
\ for opening a link (after shift+hjkl) in a new tab
alt+tab for ‘cycling’ thru the tabs
there are more advanced concepts in opera

Its also very interesting to read the design philosophies/goals on these site. I didn't really understand why tagging windows would be useful in Ion, for example, and the DWM site does a good job of explaining this.

They found a way to put a vim instance on top of a "headless" eclipse instance. Basically, you work in Vim but all the magic happens thought Eclipse. I am testing it now. So far seems pretty good.

Both are much more flexible than ion's static window management. Check out DWM or xmonad. Both are much more flexible than ion’s static window management.
