  1 | This project attempts to simplify the configuration of Xfce, by using YAML files instead of XML
  2 | files.
  3 | 
  4 | In order to maintain your configuration, you would need an XML file like:
  5 | 
  6 | ```xml
  7 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  8 | 
  9 | <channel name="xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts" version="1.0">
 10 |   <property name="xfwm4" type="empty">
 11 |     <property name="custom" type="empty">
 12 |       <property name="&lt;Primary&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;Down" type="string" value="down_workspace_key"/>
 13 |       <property name="&lt;Primary&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;Right" type="string" value="right_workspace_key"/>
 14 |       <property name="&lt;Primary&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;Left" type="string" value="left_workspace_key"/>
 15 |       <property name="&lt;Primary&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;Up" type="string" value="up_workspace_key"/>
 16 |     </property>
 17 |   </property>
 18 | </channel>
 19 | ```
 20 | 
 21 | Of course, the moment you change any other configuration this file immediately is filled with noise,
 22 | and then it becomes hard to keep track what are the defaults, and what are your changes.
 23 | 
 24 | Instead, we use a much less verbose YAML file:
 25 | 
 26 | ```yaml
 27 | shorcuts:
 28 |   wm:
 29 |     left_workspace: "<Super>Left"
 30 |     right_workspace: "<Super>Right"
 31 |     up_workspace: "<Super>Up"
 32 |     down_workspace: "<Super>Down"
 33 | ```
 34 | 
 35 | This format is not only less verbose and more readable, but it also maps conceptually to what a
 36 | human wants to do: map `right_workspace` to a key, not a key to `right_workspace_key`.
 37 | 
 38 | Additionally, all configurations can be stored in the same file:
 39 | 
 40 | ```yaml
 41 | ---
 42 | shortcuts:
 43 |   commands:
 44 |     "<Super>Return": xfce4-terminal
 45 |   wm:
 46 |     left_workspace: "<Super>Left"
 47 |     right_workspace: "<Super>Right"
 48 |     up_workspace: "<Super>Up"
 49 |     down_workspace: "<Super>Down"
 50 | settings:
 51 |   xfwm4:
 52 |     "/general/easy_click": Super
 53 |   xfce4-session:
 54 |     "/general/PromptOnLogout": false
 55 |   xfce4-desktop:
 56 |     "/desktop-icons/style": 0
 57 | panels:
 58 | - position: p=10;x=0;y=0
 59 |   plugins:
 60 |   - - whiskermenu
 61 |   - - tasklist
 62 |   - - pager
 63 | ```
 64 | 
 65 | Even the configuration of the panels is understandable, as opposed to the XML one.
 66 | 
 67 | To load a configuration:
 68 | 
 69 | ```sh
 70 | xfconf-load config.yml
 71 | ```
 72 | 
 73 | The configuration is loaded using D-Bus, so it's immediately activated.
 74 | 
 75 | To store your current current configuration:
 76 | 
 77 | ```sh
 78 | xfconf-dump > config.yml
 79 | ```
 80 | 
 81 | Known defaults will be skipped in order to better visualize the actual configuration.
 82 | 
 83 | If you want to see a diff, you can specify the original config to minimize the
 84 | differences.
 85 | 
 86 | ```sh
 87 | xfconf-dump original-config.yml > new-config.yml
 88 | diff -u original-config.yml new-config.yml
 89 | ```
 90 | 
 91 | ## Prerequisites
 92 | 
 93 | To use you will need `ruby` and the `ruby-dbus` gem, which you can install with:
 94 | 
 95 | ```sh
 96 | gem install ruby-dbus
 97 | ```
 98 | 
 99 | ## Install
100 | 
101 | Simply run `make install` (and make sure `~/.local/bin` is in your `$PATH`).
102 | 
103 | If you are using Arch Linux, you can install xfce-config-helper from AUR.
104 | 
105 | ```sh
106 | yay -Sy xfce-config-helper
107 | ```
