Environment variables¶
These configuration files can be influenced by the following environment variables.
- LANG¶
The default setting for all locale configuration, often overridden by category specific settings with
LC_*
.
- PKG_LICENSE_DIR¶
Location for text copies of common licenses, used in projectionist template setup.
- TERM¶
This is used to control background colours.
- TMPDIR¶
Location for user’s temporary files.
- VIM_DISABLE_CURSORS¶
If set then cursors keys are disabled. This is entirely about learning motions, and not about promoting an “arrow keys are the devil’s plaything” sentiment.
- VIM_PROFILE¶
Whether to enable profiling support. If set to a filename it will profile all files under
~/.vim
, and if specified as<filename>:<function>
will profile only the specified function.
- XDG_CACHE_HOME¶
If set it configures the location for cache files. See XDG base directory specification for how to configure it, and defaults.
- XDG_DATA_HOME¶
If set it configures the location for data files. See XDG base directory specification for how to configure it, and defaults.
