Have you edited /etc/grep-dctrl.rc or ~/.grep-dctrlrc ?

If so, please tell me in the comments, how and for what purpose.

I am going to remove this configuration feature as being an unnecessary complication, unless I hear compelling user stories.

I’ll give an anti-use-case: as far as I can tell, shell aliases or one-liner scripts could replace any use of this mechanism. I agree that removing it sounds like a good idea.

I don’t.

But I would like to say, that your Debian karma++ by attitude and communication.

Greets, a user.
