NAME

       wyrdrc is the configuration textfile for the wyrd(1) console calendar application.

INTRODUCTION

       CAUTION:  while this manpage should be suitable as a quick reference, it may be subject to
       miscellaneous shortcomings in typesetting. The definitive documentation is the user manual
       provided with Wyrd in PDF format.

       Wyrd  reads  a run-configuration textfile (generally /etc/wyrdrc or /usr/local/etc/wyrdrc)
       to determine key bindings, color schemes, and  many  other  settings.  You  can  create  a
       personalized  configuration  file  in  $HOME/.wyrdrc,  and select settings that match your
       usage patterns. The recommended procedure is to ``include'' the wyrdrc file provided  with
       Wyrd (see INCLUDING OTHER RCFILES), and add or remove settings as desired.

WYRDRC SYNTAX

       You  may  notice that the wyrdrc syntax is similar to the syntax used in the configuration
       file for the Mutt email client (muttrc).

       Within the wyrdrc file, strings should be enclosed in double quotes (").  A  double  quote
       character  inside  a  string  may  be represented by \" .  The backslash character must be
       represented by doubling it (\\).

   INCLUDING OTHER RCFILES
       Syntax: include filename_string
       This syntax can be used to  include  one  run-configuration  file  within  another.   This
       command  could  be  used to load the default wyrdrc file (probably found in /etc/wyrdrc or
       /usr/local/etc/wyrdrc) within your personalized rcfile, ~/.wyrdrc .  The  filename  string
       should be enclosed in quotes.

   SETTING CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
       Syntax: set variable=value_string
       A  number of configuration variables can be set using this syntax; check the CONFIGURATION
       VARIABLES description to see a list. The variables are unquoted, but the values should  be
       quoted strings.

   CREATING KEY BINDINGS
       Syntax: bind key_identifier operation
       This  command  will  bind  a  keypress  to  execute  a  calendar  operation.   The various
       operations, which should not be enclosed in  quotes,  may  be  found  in  the  section  on
       CALENDAR  OPERATIONS.  Key identifiers may be specified by strings that represent a single
       keypress, for example "m" (quotes included). The key may be prefixed with "\\C"  or  "\\M"
       to  represent  Control or Meta (Alt) modifiers, respectively; note that the backslash must
       be doubled. A number  of  special  keys  lack  single-character  representations,  so  the
       following strings may be used to represent them:

       *      "<esc>"

       *      "<tab>"

       *      "<enter>"

       *      "<return>"

       *      "<insert>"

       *      "<home>"

       *      "<end>"

       *      "<pageup>"

       *      "<pagedown>"

       *      "<space>"

       *      "<left>"

       *      "<right>"

       *      "<up>"

       *      "<down>"

       *      "<f1>" to "<f12>"

       Due  to differences between various terminal emulators, this key identifier syntax may not
       be adequate to describe every keypress.  As  a  workaround,  Wyrd  will  also  accept  key
       identifiers  in  octal  notation.  As an example, you could use \024 (do not enclose it in
       quotes) to represent Ctrl-T.

       Multiple keys may be bound to the same operation, if desired.

   REMOVING KEY BINDINGS
       Syntax: unbind key_identifier
       This command will remove  all  bindings  associated  with  the  key  identifier.  The  key
       identifiers should be defined using the syntax described in the previous section.

   SETTING THE COLOR SCHEME
       Syntax: color object foreground background
       This  command will apply the specified foreground and background colors to the appropriate
       object. A list of colorable objects is provided in the section on COLORABLE OBJECTS.  Wyrd
       will  recognize  the  following  color keywords: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta,
       cyan, white, default. The default keyword allows you to choose the default  foreground  or
       background  colors.  If  you  use  default for your background color, this will access the
       transparent background on terminal emulators which support it.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

       The following configuration variables may be set as described in the SETTING CONFIGURATION
       VARIABLES section.

       *      remind_command
              Determines the command used to execute Remind.

       *      reminders_file
              Controls which Remind file Wyrd will operate on. The default is ~/.reminders .

       *      edit_old_command
              Controls  the  command  used  to  edit a pre-existing reminder. The special strings
              '%file%' and '%line%' will be replaced with a filename to edit and a line number to
              navigate to within that file.

       *      edit_new_command
              Controls  the  command  used to edit a new reminder. The special character '%file%'
              will be replaced with a filename to edit. Ideally, this  command  should  move  the
              cursor to the last line of the file, where the new reminder template is created.

       *      edit_any_command
              Controls  the  command  used  for  editing  a  reminder  file without selecting any
              particular reminder. The  special  character  '%file%'  will  be  replaced  with  a
              filename to edit.

       *      timed_template
              Controls  the format of the REM line created when editing a new timed reminder. The
              following string substitutions will be made: '%monname%' - month  name,  '%mon%'  -
              month  number,  '%mday%'  -  day  of  the  month, '%year%' - year, '%hour%' - hour,
              '%min%' - minute, '%wdayname%' - weekday name, '%wday%' - weekday number.

       *      untimed_template
              Controls the format of the REM line created when editing a  new  untimed  reminder.
              The substitution syntax is the same as for timed_template.

       *      templateN
              Controls the format of a generic user-defined REM line template; N may range from 0
              to 9. The substitution syntax is the same as for timed_template.

       *      busy_algorithm
              An integer value specifying which algorithm to use for measuring how busy the  user
              is  on  a  particular  day.  If busy_algorithm="1", then Wyrd will simply count the
              total number of reminders triggered on that day. If busy_algorithm="2",  then  Wyrd
              will  count  the  number  of  hours  of  reminders  that fall on that day. (Untimed
              reminders are assumed to occupy untimed_duration minutes.)

       *      untimed_duration
              An integer value that specifies the assumed duration of  an  untimed  reminder,  in
              minutes. This is used only when computing the busy level with busy_algorithm="2".

       *      busy_level1
              An  integer  value  specifying  the  maximum  number  of  reminders  in a day (with
              busy_algorithm="1")   or   maximum   hours   of   reminders   in   a   day    (with
              busy_algorithm="2")   which   will   be   colored   using   the  color  scheme  for
              calendar_level1.

       *      busy_level2
              Same as above, using the calendar_level2 color scheme.

       *      busy_level3
              Same as above, using the calendar_level2 color scheme rendered in bold.

       *      busy_level4
              Same as above, using the calendar_level3 color scheme. Any day with more  reminders
              than this will be rendered using the calendar_level3 color scheme rendered in bold.

       *      week_starts_monday
              A boolean value ("true" or "false") that determines the first day of the week.

       *      schedule_12_hour
              A  boolean  value that determines whether the timed reminders window is drawn using
              12- or 24-hour time.

       *      selection_12_hour
              A boolean value that determines whether the selection information is drawn with 12-
              or 24-hour time.

       *      status_12_hour
              A  boolean  value  that determines whether the current time is drawn using a 12- or
              24-hour clock.

       *      description_12_hour
              A boolean value that determines whether reminder start  and  end  times  are  drawn
              using  12-  or 24-hour time in the description window. This value also controls the
              format  of  timestamps  in  the  formatted  calendars  produced  by  view_week  and
              view_month.

       *      center_cursor
              A  boolean  value  that  determines how the screen and cursor move during scrolling
              operations. When set to "true", the cursor is fixed in  the  center  of  the  timed
              reminders  window,  and  the  schedule  scrolls around it. When set to "false" (the
              default),  the  cursor  will  move  up  and  down  the  schedule  during  scrolling
              operations.

       *      goto_big_endian
              A  boolean  value that determines how the the goto operation will parse dates. When
              set to "true", date specifiers should be in ISO 8601 (YYYYMMDD) format. When set to
              "false", date specifiers should be in European style DDMMYYYY format.

       *      quick_date_US
              A  boolean  value  that  determines  how the quick_add operation will parse numeric
              dates with slashes, e.g. 6/1 (or 6/1/2006). When set to "true", the first number is
              a month and the second is the day of the month (June 1). When set to "false", these
              meanings of these two fields are switched (January 6).

       *      number_weeks
              A boolean value that determines whether or not weeks should be numbered within  the
              month  calendar  window. Weeks are numbered according to the ISO 8601 standard. The
              ISO standard week begins on Monday, so to avoid confusion it  is  recommended  that
              week_starts_monday be set to "true" when week numbering is enabled.

       *      home_sticky
              A  boolean  value  that  determines whether or not the cursor should "stick" to the
              "home" position. When this option is set to "true", then after pressing the  <home>
              key  the  cursor will automatically follow the current date and time. The effect is
              cancelled by pressing any of the navigation keys.

       *      untimed_window_width
              An integer value that determines the target width of the month-calendar window  and
              the  untimed  reminders  window.  The  allowable  range  is  34  to ($COLUMNS - 40)
              characters, and Wyrd will silently disregard any setting outside this range.

       *      advance_warning
              A boolean value that determines whether or not Wyrd should display advance  warning
              of  reminders. When set to "true", Wyrd will invoke Remind in a mode that generates
              advance warning of reminders as specified in the reminder file.

       *      untimed_bold
              A boolean value that determines whether or not Wyrd should render untimed reminders
              using a bold font.

       For maximum usefulness, busy_level1 < busy_level2 < busy_level3 < busy_level4.
