How to change default layout in rv?

[collinbanko]

This can be achieved by switching to a package-based implementation. I found some time and created a package that sets the same defaults. To install and inform RV of our package (via an environment variable), perform the following steps:

1. Create a directory to act as new support path.
2. Download the package: set_defaults-1.0.rvpkg (1.3 KB)
3. Add and install the package into the support path created in step one using the rvpkg utility located in RV’s installation directory:

   rvpkg -install -add [support_path] [package_file]
   

4. Set the RV_SUPPORT_PATH environment variable to the newly created support path.

The next time you startup RV the package will automatically load and set the desired defaults. You can verify its presence by checking RV >> Preferences >> Packages.
