Settings

The Settings tab edits global and local ublx.toml from the TUI. It is always available.

What fills each pane

Pane	Content
Left	Scope — Global vs Local
Middle	Config keys for that scope (theme, layout, toggles, …)
Right	Description and preview for the selected key

Changes hot-reload where supported (see Configuration).

Common keys in the UI

Key	Effect
theme	Palette display name — Themes & palettes
layout	Left / middle / right pane width percentages
bg_opacity	Page background opacity (1.0 = solid)
show_hidden_files	Include dotfiles in the index
hash	Blake3 per file (duplicates / change detection)
follow_links	Follow directory symlinks on walk (v0.3.1+; default off; next snapshot)
run_snapshot_on_startup	Snapshot when opening a catalog
typed_column_tables	Metadata column tables: none / abbrev / full
command_mode.leader	Global only — letter for Command Mode (Ctrl+{letter}; default a). Enter cycles; type a letter when focused. j/k blocked

Editing the file directly

Key	Action
e	Open the active scope’s config file in $EDITOR

Theme picker without leaving Settings: Command Mode → t (default Ctrl+A, t) — saves to local config on confirm.
