Trisquel .ctwmrc

*Note as stated previously for1)Install ctwm

to function correctly its needed to install ctwm via '

sudo apt install ctwm'ctwm on Trisquel and

2) Setup session to boot into ctwm properly

- add a text file called ctwm.desktop as root ( or via sudo ) to /usr/share/xsessions. This can be done by doing '
sudo touch /usr/share/xsessions/ctwm.desktop

then

- openingedit that blankthe file as root either using nano or mousepad( in lxde) or your text editor of choice so '
sudo mousepad /usr/share/xsessions/ctwm.desktop ' then add these lines

/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 then

3) add the configuration file below into the users home folder. Its a hidden file when saved as .ctwmrc so to edit it either unhide hidden files from a file manager such as pcmanfm or just do ' nano .ctwmrc' from a terminal opened in the home folder of the user or even from a terminal anywhere
'nano /home/username/.ctwmrc' .

The configuration file below does not include the recent 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).
