1 Minimum Profit Configuration Directives
2 =======================================
4 The following configuration values can be set in the configuration files,
5 executed from the command line or from the `Execute MPSL code...' option in
6 the `Edit' menu. So, for example, if you always want automatic indentation,
7 word wrapping at column 75 and a special ispell command, you can add the
8 following MPSL code to `~/.mp.mpsl' or `/etc/mp.mpsl':
10 mp.config.auto_indent = 1;
11 mp.config.word_wrap = 75;
12 mp.config.ispell_cmd = "aspell -a";
14 All configuration variables are in the `mp.config' hash.
19 Set to 1 if automatic indentation is wanted (default: 0, no indentation).
21 mp.config.auto_sessions
22 -----------------------
24 Set to 1 to automatically load / save sessions on startup / exit (default:
25 0, no automatic sessions).
27 mp.config.case_sensitive_search
28 -------------------------------
30 Set to 1 if searches are to be done in a case-sensitive way (default: 1).
35 The external command to be executed when a tag search is requested. By
36 default is `ctags *'. Other useful value is `ctags -R', that search for
37 tags recursively in subdirectories.
42 The end of line character (or characters). By default is "\n". Other useful
43 values are "\r\n" for MSDOS / Windows systems, or "\r" for legacy MacOS
49 The font face to be used in GUI environments. By default it's "Mono" on
50 KDE4 and GTK and "Lucida Console" on MS Windows.
55 The font size to be used in GUI environments. By defaults it's 12 on KDE
56 and GTK and 14 on MS Windows.
58 mp.config.global_replace
59 ------------------------
61 Set to 1 if the _replace_ operation must be done to the end of the file
62 (default: 0, do it only once).
67 The external command to be executed as a pipe for spellchecking. It must be
68 compatible with `ispell', and by default it's "ispell -a". Other useful
69 values are "aspell -a", if you have `aspell' installed (a better
70 alternative), or "ispell -a -Tutf8", if you happen to be in an UTF-8
71 environment and must use `ispell'.
73 mp.config.local_sessions
74 ------------------------
76 Set to 1 to store session information in the currently working directory
77 instead of in the home directory (default: 0, save sessions in the
83 If set to 1, end-of-line characters are marked with a special character,
84 instead of being invisible (default: 0, don't mark).
89 Set to 1 if the GUI window must open maximized (default: 0, no maximize).
91 mp.config.move_seek_to_line
92 ---------------------------
94 The line number to be set the cursor to when a successful search is hit
95 (default: 5). If set to 0, the position is not touched.
97 mp.config.preread_lines
98 -----------------------
100 The number of lines to read above the first visible line to calculate
101 syntax highlight in blocks (default: 60 lines). There is probably no
102 need to change this, unless using very big comment blocks or the like.
104 mp.config.recursive_grep
105 ------------------------
107 If set, the `grep' action is done recursively (default: 0).
109 mp.config.rw_max_dist
110 ---------------------
112 Used by the `seek_repeated_word' action as the maximum distance two
113 _similar_ words must be separated apart to be considered a repetition
116 mp.config.rw_num_chars
117 ----------------------
119 Used by the `seek_repeated_word' action as the number of characters
120 (from the start or the end) two words must match to be considered
121 _similar_ and taken into account for repetitions (default: 4
124 mp.config.status_format
125 -----------------------
127 The status format string to be shown in the status line. By default it's
128 "%m%n %x,%y [%l] %R%O %s %t", where each percent-value means:
130 +----+---------------------------------------------------------+

143 | %R | Macro recording flag (R or the empty string) |
144 +----+---------------------------------------------------------+
145 | %O | Overwrite flag (O or the empty string if inserting) |
146 +----+---------------------------------------------------------+
147 | %s | Syntax highlight in use |
148 +----+---------------------------------------------------------+
149 | %t | Tag target over the cursor, or the empty string if none |
150 +----+---------------------------------------------------------+
151 | %n | Document name |
152 +----+---------------------------------------------------------+
153 | %w | Number of words in the current document (or in the |
154 | | current selection, if any). May be slow. |
155 +----+---------------------------------------------------------+
156 | %% | A percent sign |
157 +----+---------------------------------------------------------+
159 mp.config.tabs_as_spaces
160 ------------------------
162 Set to 1 if tabs must be converted to spaces (default: 0, no conversion).
