By default, LinuxBBQ comes with the GNU nano editor. It is good enough for most of the tasks, quick enough for most of the users, and powerful enough to make even editing of multiple files possible.
Let's edit the configuration file of wmii.
Open up a terminal, and type:
nano ~/.wmii/wmiirc_local
Pro tip: Make use of the bash-completion feature for longer filenames {: .callout .info}
The file is quite easy to understand.
You can set background and foreground colors, or change the modifier Mod1
(which is Alt
) to Mod4
(which is Super
or Windows
).
When you made your changes, press Ctrl + o
and hit Enter
.
To close the editor, press Ctrl + x
.
To see any changes you made, use the three-finger salute:
Ctrl + Alt + Backspace
In the next part we'll take a look at the ~/.xinitrc
file, we'll set up the terminal environment, and we'll install some software.
Until then, move those terminals around, cowboy! ;)
