Configuration files

      TV allows you to configure its behaviour in a wide range by using aliases (see section 3.9 p. ), changing the window appearence (see appendix B p. ), i.e. colours and cursorforms, and defining the hotkeys for the cursor-mode (see section 3.11 p. ). For all these purposes you can use configuration files which are evaluated by TV automatically at startup or which you have to start from automatically evaluated files or by hand.

If the environment variable TVPATH is not set TV looks for configuration files in the following order. Only one .tvrc is evaluated.

1.

/ikp/local/lib/tv/site.tvrc

2.

/ikp/local/lib/tv/.tvrc

3.

current working directory$>$/.tvrc

If TVPATH is set only the directories defined in this variable are scanned. First for site.tvrc and afterwards for .tvrc. Set TVPATH in your .bashrc with:

export TVPATH=''$TVPATH:/ikp/local/lib/tv:~/.:.''
