[Notion-general] How to change default term and adding environment variable

[Thomas A. <t.d...@gm...>]

I build the source and install notion on my laptop. But I have a
question. How can I change the default term for notion?

After searching on the internet, I come across a page at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ion3, which says editing
cfg_bindings.lua. But I notice that within .notion, there is not such
file; and the cfg_statusd.lua does not allow user editing its content.
How can I change the default terminal and adding environment variable
e.g. `export ...` or `program&`?

Thanks.

At the top of cfg_notion.lua (if you don't have one in ~/.notion you
should copy it from the system location to there) there is a commented out
line:

--XTERM="xterm"

uncomment that (remove the --) and set it to whatever terminal you want it
to run.

That being said I'm not sure sure setting environment variables or running
more than one command is going to work well that way. What are you trying
to accomplish by doing that?

Thanks! I copy cfg_notion.lua from source ($NOTION_SRC/etc/).
Uncommenting and changing xterm to the one I previous use, and it
works.
