2bc4f7bd
JF
22You can permanently set an option by putting it in the `~/.tigrc` file. The
23file consists of a series of 'commands'. Each line of the file may contain
24only one command.
cb7f42cd 25
2bc4f7bd
JF
26The hash mark ('#') is used as a 'comment' character. All text after the
27comment character to the end of the line is ignored. You can use comments to
28annotate your initialization file.

48 set encoding = "UTF-8" # Commit encoding

cb7f42cd 50
2bc4f7bd 51The type of variables are either bool, int, and string.
cb7f42cd 52
2bc4f7bd 53Valid bool values::
cb7f42cd 54
2bc4f7bd
JF
55 To set a bool variable to true use either "1", "true", or "yes".
56 Any other value will set the variable to false.
cb7f42cd 57
2bc4f7bd 58Valid int values::
cb7f42cd 59
2bc4f7bd 60 A non-negative integer.
cb7f42cd 61
2bc4f7bd 62Valid string values::
cb7f42cd 63
2bc4f7bd 64 A string of characters. Optionally, use either ' or " as delimiters.

66Variables
67~~~~~~~~~
cb7f42cd 68
2bc4f7bd 69The following variables can be set:
cb7f42cd 70
2bc4f7bd 71'show-rev-graph' (bool)::
cb7f42cd 72
f7ffec06 73 Show revision graph in the main view on start-up. Can be toggled with
2bc4f7bd 74 'g'.
cb7f42cd 75
2bc4f7bd 76'line-number-interval' (int)::
cb7f42cd 77
2bc4f7bd
JF
78 Interval between line numbers. Note, you have to toggle on line
79 numbering with 'n' or the `-n` command line option. The default is to
80 number every line.
cb7f42cd 81
2bc4f7bd 82'tab-size' (int)::
cb7f42cd 83
2bc4f7bd 84 Number of spaces per tab. The default is 8 spaces.
cb7f42cd 85
2bc4f7bd 86'commit-encoding' (string)::
cb7f42cd 87
2bc4f7bd
JF
88 The encoding used for commits. The default is UTF-8. Not this option
89 is shadowed by the "i18n.commitencoding" option in `.git/config`.

92Bind command
93------------
cb7f42cd 94
2bc4f7bd
JF
95Using bind commands keys can be mapped to an action when pressed in a given
96key map. The syntax is:
cb7f42cd 97
2bc4f7bd
JF
98[verse]
99..............................................................................
100 *bind* 'keymap' 'key' 'action'
101..............................................................................
102
103Examples:
104
105--------------------------------------------------------------------------
106 # A few keybindings
107 bind main w scroll-line-up
108 bind main s scroll-line-down
109 bind main space enter
110 bind diff a previous
111 bind diff d next
112 bind diff b move-first-line

JF
113 # 'unbind' the default quit key binding
114 bind main Q none
2bc4f7bd
JF
115--------------------------------------------------------------------------
116
117Keys are mapped by first searching the keybindings for the current view, then
118the keybindings for the *generic* keymap, and last the default keybindings.
f7ffec06 119Thus, the view keybindings shadow the generic keybindings which Shadow the
2bc4f7bd
JF
120built-in keybindings.
121
122--
123
124Keymaps::
125
173d76ea
JF
126Valid keymaps are: *main*, *diff*, *log*, *help*, *pager*, *status*, and
127*generic*. Use *generic* to set key mapping in all keymaps.
2bc4f7bd
JF
128
129Key values::
130
131Key values should never be quoted. Use either the ASCII value or one of the
132following symbolic key names. Symbolic key names are case insensitive, Use
133*Hash* to bind to the `#` key, since the hash mark is used as a comment
134character.
135
136*Enter*, *Space*, *Backspace*, *Tab*, *Escape*, *Left*, *Right*, *Up*, *Down*,
137*Insert*, *Delete*, *Hash*, *Home*, *End*, *PageUp*, *PageDown*, *F1*, *F2*, *F3*,
138*F4*, *F5*, *F6*, *F7*, *F8*, *F9*, *F10*, *F11*, *F12*.
139
140Action names::
141
142Valid action names are described below. Note, all names are
143case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably,
144e.g. "view-main", "View.Main", and "VIEW_MAIN" are the same.

227Color commands control highlighting and the user interface styles. If your
228terminal supports color, these commands can be used to assign foreground and
f7ffec06 229background combinations to certain areas. Optionally, an attribute can be given
2bc4f7bd
