4.0 Customizing nn
One of the greatest things about nn is its customizability. It has
over 180 variables which you can use to change the way information is
presented and the way commands work. You can also remap your
keyboard, create macros to do just about anything, and create
customizations that are specific to only some newsgroups.
This section describes suggestions for customizing the following files.
File Purpose
==== =======
.login or .profile Set your EDITOR environment variable
.newsrc Track newsgroup subscriptions & articles read
seq Specify newsgroup sequence, default save files, and
more
init Variable settings, key mappings, macros, command
groups, and more
init.* Files loaded by init (these can actually be named
anything)
kill Auto kill & select commands
The .login, .profile, and .newsrc files are in your home directory (~), and
all the rest reside in your ~/.nn directory.
