Configurations

At the moment, configuration files are not supported, because I'm in favor of compile-time configuration 1, for the following reasons:

  1. Easier to update
  2. Running with incompatible configurations is impossible 2
  3. Configuration as code
    • Free type-checking
    • Free formatting3
    • Ability to reduce duplications using functions
    • Easy backup (fork Ki-editor and push your modified config)

However, I'm open to suggestions, I might even create a new language for that.

Environment variables for configurations​

Until a method of basic configuration is decided upon, the theme for Ki can be configured via the environment variable KI_EDITOR_THEME. The theme defaults to "VS Code (Light)". You can find a list of known themes by launching ki and using the Pick Theme option, SPACE t.
