## Customizing bug.n
|
|
|
|
bug.n can be customized by setting configuration variables and hotkeys (the key
|
|
bindings for the bug.n functions).
|
|
|
|
To change either of them, first create a configuration file (`Config.ini`) by
|
|
using the hotkey `#^s`, i. e. `Win+Ctrl+S`. The file is either saved in the
|
|
directory you specified with the parameter to the executable or script when
|
|
running bug.n, or in the Windows user directory (e. g.
|
|
`C:\Users\joten\AppData\Roaming\bug.n`).
|
|
|
|
You may then edit the file with a text editor, i. a. using the hotkey `#^e`
|
|
(`Win+Ctrl+E`), and add a new line for each configuration variable with its
|
|
value; the general format is `<variable>=<value>` not using quotation marks
|
|
surrounding the values.
|
|
If you want to set a boolean value, use `1` for "True" and `0` for "False";
|
|
e. g. `Config_showBar=0`. You will have to reload bug.n for the changes to take
|
|
effect.
|
|
|
|
To set a hotkey, use the variable name `Config_hotkey` and [the hotkey notation
|
|
from AutoHotkey](http://ahkscript.org/docs/Hotkeys.htm) as value:
|
|
`Config_hotkey=<key name>::<command or function name>`.
|
|
You may overwrite default or add new hotkeys.
|
|
* To deacivate a hotkey from the default configuration, add a new line in the
|
|
format `Config_hotkey=<key name>::` (without a function name).
|
|
* To assign an external program to a new hotkey, add a line in the general
|
|
format, using the `Run` command of AutoHotkey as described in
|
|
http://ahkscript.org/docs/commands/Run.htm (`Run, Target [, WorkingDir,
|
|
Max|Min|Hide|UseErrorLevel, OutputVarPID]`).
|
|
* You may also use the `Send` command of AutoHotkey as described in
|
|
http://ahkscript.org/docs/commands/Send.htm
|
|
|
|
The available configuration variables are listed in the document
|
|
"[Default configuration](./Default_configuration.md)"; the hotkeys with their
|
|
associated functions are listed in the document
|
|
"[Default hotkeys](./Default_hotkeys.md)".
|
|
|
|
`Config_borderWidth`, `Config_borderPadding` and `Config_selBorderColor` are
|
|
especially usefull, if you are not allowed to set the design in the system
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
You may find a sample configuration file at
|
|
https://github.com/joten/bug.n.config.

### Re-using Win+L
|
|
|
|
The hotkey `#l` (`Win+L`) is set by Microsoft Windows to lock the workstation.
|
|
If you want to use it as a hotkey in bug.n, you can bind another hotkey, e. g.
|
|
`#^+l` (`Win+Ctrl+Shift+L`), to the lock function by using the bug.n-function
|
|
`Manager_lockWorkStation()`, which i. a. sets the registry key
|
|
`Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableLockWorkstation`
|
|
and locks the workstation. This than allows to set `Win+L` as a hotkey in
|
|
`Config.ini`.
|
|
|
|
If `Win+L` still locks the workstation, use the new keybinding for locking the
|
|
workstation at least once and therewith set the needed registry key.
|
|
|
|
**WARNING**: This will permanently set a registry key.
