How to configure codeset option for leafpad?

[owenclements]

Hi,

CODE: SELECT ALL

#leafpad --codeset=zh_CN-utf8 filename


Above command can show the file correctly

And how to write the codeset option to ~/.config/leafpad/leafpadrc or other configuration file

That I do not have to input the codeset option everytime.

Thanks

looks to me like leafpadrc is not meant to be edited by humans.
In other words, no, you can't.

One workaround would be to do copy /usr/share/applications/leafpad.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications and change the Exec line accordingly.
