I'm sure there are plenty on HN who are eager to say how much they love rc files, I mean to point out how many, even here, really have no attachment to these kinds of things. Of course it's very possible they don't care enough to read this far or respond either... but it's worth a shot :D
- nosioptar 2mo agoAn rc file is a configuration file. Vim has .vimrc and bash has .bashrc For example, some distros add an alias for rm to bashrc to make it ask for confirmation (the -i switch iirc). I didnt know Firefox has one. I can't find any documentation on it either...
- antisol 2mo agoTechnically rc files tend to be a list of commands (usually to set config options) that are executed on startup, not actually configuration files per se. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RUNCOM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RUNCOM </pedantry>
