Option for global config? #3525

Open helpimnotdrowning opened 3 weeks ago

helpimnotdrowning commented 3 weeks ago

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Is there some location where I can write to a global config directory, that ideally can be overridden piecemeal by a personal config?

Specifications

Using:

Windows 11
- micro: 2.0.14/04c57704 via Winget
- term: Windows Terminal/pwsh
Debian 12.7 / KDE 5
- micro: 2.0.11/\<no hash in output> via apt/bookworm
- term: Konsole/pwsh

There is no global config but you can specify a custom configuration directory when launching micro with a command line option micro -config-dir /tmp.

I personally think cascading configuration files are not worth the extra complexity. Multiple competing sources of configuration would make debugging issues more complicated.
