I like the idea of this series, which I think is a much nicer way to set these defaults and can also correctly apply to existing terminal windows. As you mentioned, this also allows different configurations per directory, and it makes it easier if you need to have a system-wide policy for whatever reason. I've taken a look at the patches and they seem fine to me. Thanks for sending them. -- brian m. carlson (they/them or he/him) Toronto, Ontario, CA
