<kbd>⌘ ,</kbd> opens Settings. There is a search box at the top that matches
|
|
setting names *and* keywords, which is usually faster than remembering which
|
|
section something is in.

## Search and edit
|
|
|
|
Search matches setting names, descriptions, English aliases, and configuration
|
|
keys such as `mouse_zoom_modifier`. Ordinary results are editable directly;
|
|
use the path above a result to open its category. SSH, theme editors, and
|
|
keyboard shortcuts have dedicated views.
|
|
|
|
Use **Modified only** to find settings that differ from their defaults. A
|
|
modified setting offers **Reset setting**; installation and maintenance actions
|
|
do not have a generic reset.
|
|
|
|
Ordinary controls save automatically. Text fields commit valid values on Enter
|
|
or when focus leaves the field. Custom theme edits are previewed until you save;
|
|
cancel restores the original theme. SSH profiles also use explicit saving.
|
|
Leaving an edited form offers save, discard, or continue editing.
|
|
|
|
## The settings file
|
|
|
|
Everything the Settings window writes goes to one file:
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| macOS / Linux | `~/.config/tty7/config.json` |
|
|
| Windows | `%APPDATA%\tty7\config.json` |
|
|
|
|
The one exception is your saved SSH hosts, which live beside it in
|
|
`servers.json` — so `config.json` can be synced between machines without
|
|
carrying your servers. [servers.json →](/reference/configuration#ssh)
|
|
|
|
Set `TTY7_CONFIG_DIR` to point the whole directory — config, themes, state —
|
|
somewhere else.
|
|
|
|
You can edit the file by hand; a handful of options exist only there. See the
|
|
[configuration reference](/reference/configuration) for every key, its type, and
|
|
its default.
|
|
|
|
### How it handles mistakes
|
|
|
|
The file is written atomically, and read forgivingly:
|
|
|
|
- **A missing key** means the default — you only have to write what you change.
|
|
- **An out-of-range number** is clamped into its band, not rejected.
|
|
- **An unrecognised enum value** falls back to the default with a log line,
|
|
rather than failing the whole file.
|
|
- **An unparseable file** is not overwritten. tty7 starts on defaults, keeps a
|
|
copy at `config.json.corrupt`, and says so in the log.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
A UTF-8 BOM at the start of the file is tolerated, which matters if you edited
|
|
it in a Windows editor.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## Language
|
|
|
|
**Settings → General → Language** switches the interface between English,
|
|
简体中文, and 日本語. The choice is explicit — the system language is never
|
|
inferred — and CLI output stays English regardless, so agent and script
|
|
integrations keep a stable surface.

|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "gui_language": "zh-CN" }
|
|
```
