Config\015\012\015\012On start [[subtle]] will check if a config file is available in the typical XDG paths and use it. A local config is preferred over a system wide. (see: _$XDG_CONFIG_HOME_) Then it will have a look for [[sublets]] in the XDG paths too and load them accordingly. (see _$XDG_DATA_HOME_)\015\012\015\012* To create a user config just create @$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/subtle@ and copy the latest config from the @dist@ folder into it.\015\012* To enable [[sublets]] create @$XDG_DATA_HOME/subtle/sublets@ and create symlinks to the [[sublets]]. (Load order is alphabetically)\015\012\015\012_Always compare your existing config with the one of the repository/tarball to get the latest options and check the latest news._\015\012
