# compbiz-plugin-settings
Bash script to easily modify Compbiz plugin settings for current profile.
## Status
Working but ugly. Terminology may be incorrect. This was written as a necessity for enabling a single plugin within my [dotfiles](https://github.com/FredLackey/dotfiles) and while having zero knowledge of Combpiz.
## Example Usage
For my purpose, I needed the ability to enable two settings when setting up my Ubuntu and Linux Mint workstations.
**Step 1: Enable the Plugin**
enable_compiz_plugin put
**Step 2: Apply the Settings**
set_compiz_plugin_setting put put-next-output-key 'Right'
set_compiz_plugin_setting put put-prev-output-key 'Left'
## Available Commands
Although I only needed the two commands, above, there are several more that you may find helpful:
get_compiz_available_plugins
print_compiz_available_plugins
is_compiz_plugin_available
get_compiz_profile_name
get_compiz_profile_path
get_compiz_active_plugins
print_compiz_active_plugins
is_compiz_plugin_active
get_compiz_inactive_plugins
get_compiz_plugin_status
enable_compiz_plugin
disable_compiz_plugin
get_compiz_plugin_default_settings
get_compiz_plugin_active_settings
get_compiz_plugin_setting
set_compiz_plugin_setting
## Statuses
The following three statuses are used when describing a plugin (all three based on the verbiage used by Compbiz):
#### Active
The plugin is installed and *is* active.
#### Available
The plugin is installed but *may or may not* be active.
#### Inactive
The plugin is installed but *is not* active.
## Profiles
#### Current
The profile your computer is currently using.
#### Default
The profile created by the configuration backend.
## Reference
This script was created based on the knowledge obtained from the Compbiz Configuration section of the [Arch Linux wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_configuration). I did try to contact the Compbiz authors directly but never received a response.
