specify config directory

[diygcy]

Hey! How can I specify config directory, not always ~/.config/helix/ maybe conflict with other users.
It's something like zellij with option --config-dir and env ZELLIJ_CONFIG_DIR :

zellij 0.40.1

USAGE:
    zellij [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]

OPTIONS:
    -c, --config <CONFIG>            Change where zellij looks for the configuration file [env:
                                     ZELLIJ_CONFIG_FILE=]
        --config-dir <CONFIG_DIR>    Change where zellij looks for the configuration directory [env:
                                     ZELLIJ_CONFIG_DIR=]
    -d, --debug                      Specify emitting additional debug information
        --data-dir <DATA_DIR>        Change where zellij looks for plugins
    -h, --help                       Print help information
    -l, --layout <LAYOUT>            Name of a predefined layout inside the layout directory or the
                                     path to a layout file
        --max-panes <MAX_PANES>      Maximum panes on screen, caution: opening more panes will close
                                     old ones
    -s, --session <SESSION>          Specify name of a new session
    -V, --version                    Print version information

How can I specify config directory, not always ~/.config/helix/ maybe conflict with other users.

May I ask why you think that there could be a conflict? If the other users have their own user account, then the path ~/.config/helix will be resolved differently.

In my case, we usually use a single account on a customer machine. Could it be a new feature?

You can use a custom configuration file by specifying it with the -c or --config command line argument, for example hx -c path/to/custom-config.toml.

Not sure about how to do this for languages.toml.

This belongs under #10389 - we plan to switch to a scheme config and merge languages.toml and config.toml config, so once the config system is revamped you should be able to specify a different config with just the -c myconfig.scm flag.

will it have an env variable for -c myconfig.scm ?
