Trisquel .ctwmrc
*Note as stated previously for ctwm to function correctly its needed to install ctwm via 'sudo apt install ctwm' on Trisquel and 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 opening that blank 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

save the file and exit then 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).
