I am thinking of messing with leafpad's rc
./.config/leafpad/leafpadrc
$ cat leafpadrc
0.8.18.1
699 <-- X (Horizontal width)
237 <-- Y (Vertical height)
Monospace 12
1
1
0
I wonder what the 0.8.18.1 is all about.
I read leafpadrc into a variable
copy it to a new variable
modify the X, Y, and font size
write the new one back out
fire off leafpad
write the old rc back out
Problem solved and it was a fun write.
