Thanks!

Just one question: Why did you name the script electron42.sh? It's universal and basically a copy of https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/electron42/-/blob/main/electron-launcher.sh

The sed command is adjusting the contents of the file with the correct version. I would keep the name electron-launcher.sh - also because you do not have to adjust it for each major electronXX package.

But up to you ;)

@mkurz Thanks for your feedback, added it. Other electronXX-bin packages will be updated soon.

Would it be possible that all the AUR's electronXX-bin packages would read ~/.config/electron-flags.conf?

See the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Electron#Configuration_files and also https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/electron42/-/blob/main/electron-launcher.sh?ref_type=heads

This is default all extra/electron packages - would be great if these AUR packages would be a drop-in replacement, including reading the configs.
