# Settings Reference

<!-- Generated by `make docs-settings` from the Settings layout and search registry
(par-term-settings-ui/src/docs_tests.rs). Do not edit by hand: the test
`settings_md_is_current` fails when this file drifts. -->

Every control in the Settings window, by tab, page, and section, with the
`config.yaml` key it edits. Open Settings with `F12` (`Cmd + ,` on macOS).
For how edits are previewed, saved, and reverted, see
[Saving and reverting](#saving-and-reverting). For the full key list with
types and defaults, see the [Configuration Reference](../CONFIG_REFERENCE.md).

## Saving and reverting

- Edits preview live in every window. Nothing is written to `config.yaml` until you
press **Save**.
- **Save** writes the config and any profile edits together. **Revert** restores every
window to how it was when Settings opened or last saved.
- An `* Unsaved changes` marker in the footer tracks pending edits. Closing with
unsaved edits asks whether to save, revert, or cancel.
- Font fields wait for **Apply font changes**. Save applies them too.
- Prompts, agent commands, plugins, shader installs, and shell integration write to
their own files at once. Save and Revert do not apply to them.
- A small reset arrow next to a control restores its default as an ordinary edit.
- A failed save, or a `config.yaml` that changed on disk, shows a banner at the top.

Some settings take effect only after a restart or in new windows. The control is
badged, and the banner after Save lists them.

## YAML-only keys

These keys have no Settings control on purpose.

- `pane_title_font`: no runtime reader (UX.md B7); a control would be a dead control
- `status_bar_font`: no runtime reader; a control would be a dead control
- `font_ranges`: per-codepoint-range font list; edited in YAML until a range editor exists
- `shell_env`: free-form environment map; edited in YAML until a key/value editor exists
- `tmux_status_bar_use_native_format`: no runtime reader (the native-format query is never issued)
- `working_directory`: legacy key still read (it overrides startup_directory_mode when set); startup_directory_mode and startup_directory are its Settings controls
- `enable_text_shaping`: renderer ignores it (UX.md B39); the control was removed until it is wired
- `enable_ligatures`: renderer ignores it (UX.md B39); the control was removed until it is wired
- `enable_kerning`: renderer ignores it (UX.md B39); the control was removed until it is wired

## Internal keys

- `last_working_directory`: recorded on exit for startup_directory_mode: previous
- `last_download_directory`: recorded after a download
- `last_update_check`: timestamp of the last update check

- `shader_install_prompt`: state of the first-run shader install prompt
- `shell_integration_state`: state of the shell integration install prompt
- `agent_skill_state`: state of the agent skill install prompt
- `integration_versions`: installed integration versions
- `insecure_trigger_names`: computed at load, never serialized
- `unaccepted_risk_trigger_names`: computed at load, never serialized
- `shader_configs`: per-shader overrides, edited through each shader's controls
- `cursor_shader_configs`: per-cursor-shader overrides, edited through each shader's controls
- `pane_backgrounds`: per-pane images, edited row by row in Panes › Pane Backgrounds
