ANN: New tool xfce-config-helper

[Felipe Contreras]

Hello,

Over the years I've tried many ways to store my Xfce configuration in
a simple way and what I've found is the best is using YAML files.

I developed a tool to read this YAML configuration and update xfconf on the fly.

The format is simple:

  shortcuts:
    commands:
      "<Super>Return": xfce4-terminal
    wm:
      show_desktop: "<Super>d"
  settings:
    xfwm4:
      "/general/easy_click": Super
  panels:
  - position: p=10;x=0;y=0
    plugins:
    - - whiskermenu
    - - tasklist
    - - pager

And to load it you just do `xfconf-load config.yml`.

For more information and installation instructions check the GitHub repo [1].

If you are using Arch Linux, I've also created an AUR package:
xfce-config-helper [2].

Enjoy!
