12 gcin-tools is the default configuration tool of gcin. Another configur‐
13 ing method is writing conffiles in $HOME/.gcin/config. See CONFFILES
14 section for further information.
15
17 Those conffiles below will be created automatically by gcin-tools,
18 except gcin-bell-volume and gcin-sound-play-overlap.
19 If you want to write conffiles by yourself, please make sure you have
21 the config directory:
22 mkdir -p $HOME/.gcin/config
24 After that, you may try:
26 echo zo > $HOME/.gcin/config/phonetic-keyboard
28 Thus you make a phonetic-keyboard file with its content zo, which means
30 you select the standard style with 1234 selection method.
31 All available conffiles are listed, and default options are showed
33 bold.
