Feature Request: Support more programs #1

Open danisztls opened 2 years ago

danisztls commented 2 years ago

Arch Wiki - XDG Base Directory has a long list of configuration for many programs.

Yep, I'll slowly work my way through all of the ones on the wiki. Feel free to PR some solutions, or request specific ones so I can focus on them. I'll happily accept contributions provided they're sane.

Maybe we should make a set of policies for what's okay?

danisztls commented 2 years ago

I'll happily submit PRs for the ones I use though I already have a system in place. So I'm thinking if it makes sense for me to adopt your solution. Will it be easier to maintain?

I was already thinking about making one environment file per evil_app, I love the way you did that.

Can you push your .config/shell/config into force_xdg.git/data_home/force_xdg/env.d/, perhaps? Maybe remove the leading underscore, or is there a good reason to keep them?

By having them all in that location, it should be fairly easy to activate/deactivate different ones.

If you have a better idea, I'll be glad to hear it :)

I see some of your fixes include aliases and so, I'd rather avoid them, at least in the environment files. Look here as to why.

Great, I implemented all (I hope/think) environmental changes from the Arch wiki into env.d/. There's a holy 111 current files there now. lol

That's incredible!

Valid reasons but the PATH hijacking also have tradeoffs, one of them is complexity.

I think you covered it all by implementing the envs from Arch wiki. :)

It's just to indicate that it's a partial config, it's not required.
