# alacritty-config

A simple Python script to simplify configuring my alacritty.

## Installation

You can install `alacritty-config` by cloning this repository and running  `make
install`. By default, it will be installed in `/usr/local/bin`, but you can set a
different `INSTALL_DIR` if you like.

Uninstall it using `make uninstall`.

## Usage

`alacritty-config` has three different modes: show, add, and delete.

Calling the program without any arguments will dump your entire config: you’re in show
mode, but you haven’t selected anything. If you want to know the value of the `tabspaces`
property, call `alacritty-config` with just that argument. If you want to know the action
of your third key binding, call it with `key_bindings.2.action`—we’re 0-indexed.

```
$ alacritty-config
<your entire config>

$ alacritty-config tabspaces
8 # or whatever you set it to

$ alacritty-config key_bindings.2.action
Paste # or whatever you set it to
```

If you want to delete a property, simply add `delete`.

```
$ alacritty-config tabspaces delete
# Poof! It’s gone!
```

If you want to add or edit a property, simply add a different YAML-parseable property.
If you want to set something to `delete`, simply quote it.

```
$ alacritty-config tabspaces 4
# Set tabspaces to 4

$ alacritty-config tabspaces '"delete"'
# Set tabspaces to "delete", which won’t work
```

## TODO

I’m writing a GUI for the configuration currently, but it’s far from complete. The parts
that are already wrapped should work, though!

Have fun!
