Configuration and customization

This article documents how Kod can be customized using different configurations.

List of configuration settings

User interface behavior

Type Name Default value Description
bool groupNewDocuments/enabled YES Enable or disable automatic grouping of new documents
bool groupNewDocuments/byEditDistance YES When using automatic grouping of new documents, employ edit-distance to find "fuzzy" matches

Text editor

Type Name Default value Description
string editor/text/indentation 2×SP A string which is used when adding or removing indentations
string editor/text/newline "\n" Inserted to terminate new lines
bool editor/indent/newline YES Controls whether Kod performs "magic" when inserting new lines (namely retaining the previous indentation level or not).
bool editor/indent/tabkey YES Enables translating a TAB key press into indentation adjustment. When enabled, using the Shift key modifier decreases the indentation level and holding the Alt key modifier inserts a regular tab character. If disabled, pressing TAB inserts a regular tab character.

KFileURLHandler (reading and writing files)

Type Name Default value Description
bool KFileURLHandler/write/atomic NO Enables "atomic writes" -- writing the file to a temporary location and upon success, hard-re-linking the target filename to the new data written.
bool KFileURLHandler/write/async YES Enables asynchronous writing of files. When enabled, e.g. pressing Cmd+S will make a snapshot of the documents data and then defer the write operation in a background thread. If disabled, the user interface will block during the duration of writing data to disk. If you are saving files to mounted remote file systems, it's not recommended to disable this.
