Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
RTV will read a configuration file located at **~/.rtv**.
|
|
This can be used to avoid having to re-enter login credentials every time the program is launched.
|
|
Each line in the file will replace the corresponding default argument in the launch script.
|
|
|
|
Example config:
|
|
|
|
**~/.rtv**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[rtv]
|
|
username=MyUsername
|
|
password=MySecretPassword
|
|
|
|
# Default subreddit
|
|
subreddit=CollegeBasketball
|
|
|
|
RTV allows users to compose comments and replys using their preferred text editor (**vi**, **nano**, **gedit**, etc).
|
|
Set the environment variable ``RTV_EDITOR`` to specify which editor the program should use.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ export RTV_EDITOR=gedit
|
