Settings and key bindings

Inside Skink: Ctrl+E, then help settings.

| Command | Opens | |---|---| | :settings | settings.json (made with defaults when missing) | | :settings project | this project's .skink/settings.json: its keys override yours here | | :bindings | bindings.json | | :reload | apply the files again |

Saving settings.json applies it. Config lives in ~/.config/skink (or $SKINK_CONFIG_DIR); both files accept // comments and trailing commas.

json { "tabsize": 4, "icons": "auto", "indentguides": true, "updates": "notify", "[python]": {"tabsize": 4, "rulers": [88]}, "[rust]": {"formatonsave": true, "lsp": "rust-analyzer"} }

A [section] is named by language (rust, typescript, tsx, javascript, python, go, dart, …) or by extension ("[md]").

Opening or saving a settings file checks it: bad JSON, unknown keys (with "did you mean"), wrong types and out-of-range values show in the gutter and in Shift+F8, at the key. Inside a key's quotes, completion offers every setting with its description. JSON schemas for both files are written to the state folder and handed to vscode-json-language-server when installed.

## Key bindings

bindings.json uses Micro's format, key name to action:

json {"Ctrl+J": "Save", "Alt+G": "command-edit:goto ", "Ctrl+5": "JumpToMatchingBrace"}

- Key names: Ctrl-x, Alt-x, Shift-Up, CtrlShiftRight, F5, PageDown, Backtab. - "Copy|CopyLine" runs the first that works; "Escape,Deselect" runs both. - "command-edit:TEXT" opens the command line with TEXT. - :bindings marks each key that replaces a default, and keys written twice (Ctrl-q and CtrlQ are one key).

"keymap": "vscode" or "sublime" puts those editors' keys over Micro's. VS Code: Ctrl+P quick open, Ctrl+Shift+P palette, Ctrl+G go to line, F12 definition, Shift+F12 references, F2 rename, F8 next problem, Ctrl+. code actions, Ctrl+` terminal, Ctrl+T symbols, Ctrl+W close, Ctrl+N new tab, Ctrl+Shift+I AI prompt. Sublime: the same palette and go-to keys plus Ctrl+B build task and Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down move lines. bindings.json still goes on top.

Every key, the [actions](actions) you can bind and the [commands](commands) have their own pages.
