Ion (based on PWM) is a new kind of window manager that brings a
text-editorish, keyboard friendly user interface to window management.
Modern GUIs are unusable. Overlapping windows are hard to manage, especially
from the keyboard, and the user often ends up in a jungle. Not to mention the
application programs, which are even worse. Mouse-based search-and-click
interfaces are slow - keyboard is fast having learnt the commands. Ion (the
last three letters of vision =-) was written as an example and an experiment of
something presumably better (just the window manager, though).
Ion simply divides the screen into frames that take the whole screen. Big
displays have so much space that this is convenient and smaller displays
couldn't show more than one window at a time anyway. The frames can be split
and growing the size of one will shrink others. Alike in PWM, clients can be
moved between frames and multiple clients can be attached to one frame.
With Ion you will hardly ever have to touch the mouse again for navigation
between windows and the windows are always in order.

Add USES=xorg USES=gl, ports categories x
Add USES=xorg and USES=gl to ports in categories starting with 'x'
While here, try to sprinkle other USES (mostly gnome and sdl) as needed.
New port: shells/ion
Ion is a modern system shell that features a simple, yet powerful,
syntax. It is written entirely in Rust, which greatly increases
the overall quality and security of the shell, eliminating the
possibilities of a ShellShock-like vulnerability, and making
development easier. It also offers a level of performance that
exceeds that of Dash, when taking advantage of Ion's features.
While it is developed alongside, and primarily for, RedoxOS, it is
a fully capable on other *nix platforms.

Remove indefinite articles and trailing periods from COMMENT, plus
minor COMMENT typos and surrounding whitespace fixes. A few Makefiles
where not included as they contain Latin-1 characters that break
the Phabricator workflow. Category X.
CR: D511
Approved by: portmgr (bapt)
The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:
Author: ...
WWW: ....
So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.
Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.
s/AUTHOR/Author/
A few other various formatting issues
o New port x11-wm/ion - A window manager with a text-editorish, keyboard
friendly interface. o portlint o Fix pkg-plist to handle NOPORTDOCS o Fix
patch-system.mk for 'make reinstall'
