Trisquel .ctwmrc

1)Install ctwm

sudo apt install ctwm on Trisquel

2) Setup session to boot into ctwm properly

- add a text file called ctwm.desktop as root
sudo touch /usr/share/xsessions/ctwm.desktop

- edit the file
sudo mousepad /usr/share/xsessions/ctwm.desktop

/usr/share/xsessions/ctwm.desktop content

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=CTWM
Comment=Claude's Tab Window Manager for the X Window System
Exec=ctwm
Icon=ctwm
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Categories=Application;

- save the file and exit

3) add the configuration file below into the users home folder
'nano /home/username/.ctwmrc'

The configuration file does not include modifications to suda-xdotool-test-2.sh to the version which seeks for vim and gains focus, though this could be added by changing the menu items in a text editor as the configuration file is fully and simply editable using any text editor like nano, mousepad or geany (though avoid ones which can alter the character encoding of the file on saving).
