Transforms

This is a list of supported transforms. These are used to support some special hard-to-handle cases. The general syntax is documented elsewhere, but in short:

transform "section" "key" transform-name arg1="value" arg2="value" ...
transform regex "section-regex.*" "key-regex.*" transform-name arg1="value" ...

For example:

transform "mysection" "mykey" unsorted-list separator=","

Below is a list of supported transforms, but remember to check chezmoi_modify_manager --help-transforms for the most up-to-date list.

unsorted-list

Compare the value as an unsorted list. Useful because Konversation likes to reorder lists.

Arguments:

• separator=",": Separating character between list elements

kde-shortcut

Specialised transform to handle KDE changing certain global shortcuts back and forth between formats like:

playmedia=none,,Play media playback
playmedia=none,none,Play media playback

No arguments.

keyring

Get the value for a key from the system keyring. Useful for passwords etc that you do not want in your dotfiles repo.

Arguments:

• service="service-name": Service name to find entry in the keyring.
• user="user-name": Username to find entry in the keyring.

You can add an entry to the secret store for your platform with:

chezmoi_modify_manager --keyring-set service-name user-name
