config files in Crunchbang

rmcellig · 2014-10-31 00:00:42

These are the config files I use the most in Crunchbang:

tint2rc - tint2
conckyrc - conky
smb.conf - samba
fstab
rc.xml - openbox
menu.xml - openbox
autostart -openbox

Are there any others that I may have missed that I should explore?

What are your most often used config files?

If you use compositing you might want to tweak ~/.config/compton.conf

Others that sometimes come up: (all in ~/)
.bash_aliases
.bashrc
.profile
.fonts.conf
.Xdefaults and/or .Xresources
.gtkrc-2.0.mine
.gmrunrc

and adding
.inputrc
gives you some more tweaks

None of these are necessary to edit, but if you have some free time and google a bit you might find something interesting.

always something more to learn!
is that like keyboard shortcuts for the shell?
can you tell me where to find some tips/documentation for it, short of reading the whole bash manual?

Excellent posts!! Thanks for the tips for me to explore. Like ohnonot said so eloquently., "Always something more to learn". And fun to!

Probably better than man bash is to google it. EG:

http://brettterpstra.com/2011/09/25/qui … putrc-fun/
http://ss64.com/bash/syntax-inputrc.html

FWIW, here's my .inputrc. I must have picked it up whole somewhere and uncommented what I wanted, because there are a lot of comments and unused code in there. Case-insensitive tab completion and history searches with the up arrow are what I use most.

# /etc/inputrc - global inputrc for libreadline
# See readline(3readline) and `info rluserman' for more information.

# Be 8 bit clean.
set input-meta on
set output-meta on

# To allow the use of 8bit-characters like the german umlauts, uncomment
# the line below. However this makes the meta key not work as a meta key,
# which is annoying to those which don't need to type in 8-bit characters.

# set convert-meta off

# try to enable the application keypad when it is called.  Some systems
# need this to enable the arrow keys.
# set enable-keypad on

# see /usr/share/doc/bash/inputrc.arrows for other codes of arrow keys

# do not bell on tab-completion
# set bell-style none
# set bell-style visible

# some defaults / modifications for the emacs mode
$if mode=emacs

# Case-insensitive tab completion
set completion-ignore-case On

# allow the use of the Home/End keys
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line

# allow the use of the Delete/Insert keys
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[2~": quoted-insert

# mappings for "page up" and "page down" to step to the beginning/end
# of the history
# "\e[5~": beginning-of-history
# "\e[6~": end-of-history

# alternate mappings for "page up" and "page down" to search the history
# "\e[5~": history-search-backward
# "\e[6~": history-search-forward

# use up & down arrows to search history
"\e[A":history-search-backward
"\e[B":history-search-forward
"\e[C": forward-char
"\e[D": backward-char

# mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving
#"\e[1;5C": forward-word
#"\e[1;5D": backward-word
#"\e[5C": forward-word
#"\e[5D": backward-word
#"\e\e[C": forward-word
#"\e\e[D": backward-word

$if term=rxvt
"\e[8~": end-of-line
"\eOc": forward-word
"\eOd": backward-word
$endif

# for non RH/Debian xterm, can't hurt for RH/Debian xterm
# "\eOH": beginning-of-line
# "\eOF": end-of-line

# for freebsd console
# "\e[H": beginning-of-line
# "\e[F": end-of-line

$endif

Interesting post.
I came across this while editing my dotfiles.
http://dotfiles.github.io/

I have #! installed on my desktop and most recently my wifes (now MINE!) laptop. Sixty seconds after she told me a few weeks ago, "sure you can keep my old laptop", I was booting into my install disk

I'm trying to find a reliable, safe way to share configs between my two machines. It's been challenging and greatly rewarding

This thread gives me some files to tweak, ha, thank you!
