Hi Mark,
As TERRIBLE as I think the mrxvt defaults are, I'm not sure the colors /
etc. should be changed system wide. (I think the defaults are from rxvt
from way back, which is why they look so terrible on new systems).
The reason we have a /usr/share/mrxvtrc is because early versions of
mrxvt had the 'hotkeys' hard wired into the code of mrxvt. When this was
replaced with macros, no default keyboard shortcuts were hardwired into
mrxvt (as a design decision, and to avoid code replication). Thus all
the former keyboard shortcuts were put into the share/mrxvtrc file.
Maybe default changes (e.g. color preferences / etc.) belong in an
optional file instead, like mrxvtrc.sample.
Does anyone else have a preference?
My suggestion would be to do the following: Supply three files --
1. mrxvtrc.sample: As a starting point for users ~/.mrxvtrc, which
we just put in some share directory. (Anyone who wants to use it
must copy and modify it themselves).
2. mrxvtrc.vanilla: The system mrxvt file with only macros.
3. mrxvtrc.sysdefaults: A file with a few additional defaults which
make things look less crappy by default.
Then add a configure option "--vanilla" which creates mrxvtrc by either
copying mrxvtrc.vanilla, or catting mrvxtrc.vanilla and
mrxvtrc.sysdefaults if "--vanilla" is not used.
Thus packagers / users who want the default vanilla behaviour can have
it. Others get better defaults.
