Config file support

qbpm now reads configuration options from a config file at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qbpm/config.toml. The default config can be viewed with qbpm config default and installed with qbpm config default > "$(qbpm config path)".

Supported options

Several options support interpolation of variables like the profile name, which are documented in the default config file.

config_py_template

Controls the contents of config.py in new profiles.

symlink_autoconfig

Symlink qutebrowser's autoconfig.yml in new profiles.

profile_directory and qutebrowser_config_directory

Equivalent to --profile-dir and --qutebrowser-config-dir .

generate_desktop_file and desktop_file_directory

Whether to generate XDG desktop entries for the profiles and where to put them.

menu and menu_prompt

Equivalent to qbpm choose's --menu, and the text of prompt that is shown in most menus.

Other changes

  • support for symlinking autoconfig.yml in addition to or instead of sourcing config.py
  • qbpm new --overwrite: back up existing config files by moving to e.g. config.py.bak
  • qbpm new now supports --desktop-file in addition to --no-desktop-file to support overriding the value from config
  • contrib/qbpm.desktop: add MimeType and Keywords, fix incorrect formatting of Categories
  • macOS: fix detection of qutebrowser binary in /Applications
  • tests for config, which means more tests for most parts of the codebase

And last but not least, the --help text is slightly wider to avoid awkward line breaks. Before:

                                  Location of the qutebrowser config to

  --overwrite                     Replace the current profile configuration if
                                  it exists.
  -h, --help                      Show this message and exit.

Much better, right?
