Follow XDG Base Directory Specification #11

Closed stnley closed 3 years ago

stnley commented 3 years ago

I think it would be an improvement if the config file locations followed XDG spec. I like to keep my .dotfiles out of my $HOME directory. Perhaps if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set use that before $HOME as the spec indicates?

I may try my hand a PR but I don't know C++ so it may take some time :smiley:
