No way to set global defaults #400

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

I don't seem to be able to set a global default so that each time that a new 
mintty starts it starts with the same defaults. Am I missing something? If not, 
can you consider some means to create global defaults? (use .mintty in the 
$HOME directory?)

thanks

At startup Mintty reads

/etc/minttyrc
~/.minttyrc
Any minttyrc's you specify on the command line, in that order.

So to specify defaults for all users, just tweak your terminal as you want it, 
copy your ~/.minttyrc to /etc/minttyrc, then delete your ~/.minttyrc.
