(Kai) This "hyper" win-mgr you use: diff from eg CDE?

Here's something Kai responded in a thread:

On most keyboards, none.  But under X11 at least, you can change the
kbd layout.  Then, it can be any key you configure.

(I use hyper for my window manager.)

I use Solaris, which comes with CDE, which
seems to do the very little I require of it
(being as I live in a many-days-old emacs
session, the only other thing I do is
kermit into a "shell account", where I
run trn, mutt, lynx, and emacs) -- those
two windows are what I spend most of my
time in.

Anyway, there might be things I *would* do
if the features were there and I knew about
them.

So, why do you use hyper (when so many
others seem to like fvwm (sp?), etc) --
what advantages does it have, what does
it make easier (especially with emacs)?


Thanks!
