Shell, editor and terminal configuration, and the tools that go with them https://git.soarez.net/sz/dot.git/atom?h=master 2026-10-05T06:45:05+00:00 2026-10-05T06:45:05+00:00 Igor Soarez igor@soarez.org 2026-10-05T06:45:05+00:00 urn:sha1:fac95146b95ef103e8100b2284671be4bdc1065f Alacritty merges the importing file last, over all of its imports (v0.17.0: merge(imports, config)), so the inline [terminal.shell] could not be replaced from local.toml at all; local.toml only ever got away with keys the main file leaves unset. The launch now lives in mux.toml, imported first, and local.toml, imported after it, can replace it. But only in the string form. Alacritty's merge appends arrays rather than replacing them, key by key (serde_utils.rs), so a [terminal.shell] table in local.toml would put its args after tmux's, zsh would run the first -c, and the window would open in tmux with no error -- the override the filed request described would not have worked. mux.toml and AGENTS.md say how to do it: `[terminal] shell = "/path/to/launcher"`, which replaces the whole table. No machine changes today: the existing local.toml files set fonts only.

History restarts here. What came before was not written to be read by anyone else, and carried machine names, addresses and an encrypted secret store; it is kept privately instead. What is left is meant to be safe on any machine, including one whose owner is not me: see CLAUDE.md for the rule it is written to.
