In principle, this could turn out to be a very stupid question. But, let me ask this right away: I am very happy with Windows that I am planning to shift to a Linux distribution later today. So, my beloved editor is Texmaker (no sarcasm intended, as it will soon become obvious). I have added a lot of custom completions to Texmaker.

Is there anyway I can carry these things over to the Linux distribution?

Source: Windows 7

Target: A Linux Distribution

I'd be more specific about the distribution, if that is needed. Please feel free to ask me other relevant things in this regard.

  • Isn't TeXmaker a cross-platform editor?

  • @GonzaloMedina It indeed is. I am an absolute beginner. So, this question can turn out be completely stupid, or might reflect my ignorance... :)

  • Can't you copy your .ini file setting?

  • @azetina I am not sure... I have not shifted yet. So, I'd like to know what I'd do.

If I understand you correctly, you want to transfer your auto completions to another system. If Linux reads .ini files then simply go to (see image below)

Options->Settings File->Save a copy of the settings file

enter image description here

Now under Linux Texmaker, do the same thing but with Replace the settings file by a new one which is still found under Options.

This would be the most logical thing to do.
