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:~/.:.''
