Happy to see the forums back online, thank you, Thomas!
And here comes a basic question about configuration file writing principle:
Is it okay to make a configuration file consisting of
Read /this/file
Read /that/file
only?
The idea is to make a dozen or two configuration files for each aspect of wm’s behavior - keybindings, window decorations and so on. That would make configuration file more readable, and one could make a configuration submenu where each item would point to coresponding file.
Is it okay to set like a dozen of envionmental variables for ‘default’ applicaations like browser, file manager etc.?
I feel more comfortable with the multi-file approach as I can easily activate and deactivate parts of fvwm configuration. Although this can be be done in your favourite editor, being a computer illiterate makes larger files more difficult to handle. For example, this is my config file:
Do you mean to activate some fvwm configuration using the menu while fvwm is running? I normally use functions for this, and I would be interested to know if you try to implement it.
