**SteamTinkerLaunch** (short **steamtinkerlaunch**) is a Linux wrapper tool for use with the Steam client

Steam Tinker Launch is a Linux wrapper tool for use with the Steam client which allows customizing and start tools and options for games quickly on the fly (see Features below)

By using a versatile configuration structure it is both easy to set up and flexible.

Please see the Readme for general information, and basic usage, and the Installation wiki for installation.

SteamTinkerLaunch was originally created by Frostworx, and is currently maintained by sonic2kk.

Features

Here is the category list of the available options and features of steamtinkerlaunch. For details simply follow the corresponding urls and/or see the corresponding settings window (screenshot) Several features might be missing in the documentation, but all of those should be self-explanatory. Others might be expected in different categories and/or could be found in two different ones, because they fit (partly) into multiple ones.

If you want to get an overview over some of the Steam Tinker Launch features, but the huge wiki is too overwhelming, you might want to read this excellent Boiling Steam article by @podiki

All pages can also be found on the sidebar. (also almost every steamtinkerlaunch window opens its corresponding wiki page when pressing the F1-Hotkey)
