Tool to read and write KDE INI config files, replaces kwriteconfig5 / kreadconfig5
Project description
kcfg
Replacement for the awful kwriteconfig5
(and kreadconfig5
)
It has a different syntax but a much improved one, some examples below
kcfg 'kcminputrc/Libinput/1241/41119/E-Signal USB Gaming Mouse/PointerAcceleration' --write -0.200
Diferences
It writes the value verbatim and reads it verbatim, so special things like [$i]
[$e]
or escapes like \s
are just treated as text
This may be implemented in the future or at least show a warning
Installation
The whole logic is inside kcfg.py
which is a self contained python script with no dependencies except configparser
which is built into python
Package exists to allow easy installation/updates from pip/pipx
pip / pipx
I always recommend to use pipx
to install the package, but if you want to use pip substitute pipx
with pip
If you need it for only one time for example in setup script but have pipx available then you can use
pipx run kcfg
pipx install kcfg
You can also install from git
pipx install git+https://github.com/sandorex/kcfg
# install specific branch
pipx install git+https://github.com/sandorex/kcfg.git@master
Git
You can clone whole repo and run it directly as a package python3 -m kcfg
, you could download it with wget and run it
You can also add the repository as a submodule, like i do in my dotfiles
git submodule add https://github.com/sandorex/kcfg
# to run it
python3 -m kcfg
# or directly
kcfg/kcfg.py
wget / curl
Beware this is the least secure option
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sandorex/kcfg/master/kcfg.py
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sandorex/kcfg/master/kcfg.py
