Bash module
The main menu of the Bash module will guide you through the 17 configuration pages. These pages have been split up in two categories:- User<->Bash interface
- In this section you can configure options concerning the interaction between User and Bash (i.e. commandline, completion and prompting etc.).
- System<->Bash interface
- Here you can configure options that have no affect on interactive communication with user--not directly anyway. In this group options on file creation, path search, etc. is found.

Configuring the commandline
This configuration page will help you setup options concerning the commandline. In particular which editing mode is prefered, how to respond top scripts, etc.As you can see, help is embedded in the module. At the bottom of each configuration page, a short help is displayed. If you would like to know more about a specific element (e.g. what output/options are generated), look it up in the Bash module reference guide.
Defining keyboard macros
You can make your owm keyboard macros--either using the builtin options in the commandline editor (Readline), or defining your own commands or text sequences. This configuration page will help you do this. A number of predefined keys have been added, so you will not have to lookup the scan codes for, for instance, the function keys.

Figur 4: file and directory handling
File and directory creation
You can specify with what permissions Bash should create a new file or directory. You just choose the combination you like, and the Bash module will calculate the octal code for you. The fact, that you do not have to read alot of manual pages and other peoples dot.files for good ideas, but merely point-and-click your way through the configuration, that makes the Dotfile Generator, and its modules in particular, so useful.... interested?
