19 DESCRIPTION
20 -----------
21
22 You can permanently set an option by putting it in the `~/.tigrc` file. The
23 file consists of a series of 'commands'. Each line of the file may contain
24 only one command.
25
26 The hash mark ('#') is used as a 'comment' character. All text after the
27 comment character to the end of the line is ignored. You can use comments to
28 annotate your initialization file.
29
30
31 Set command
32 -----------
33
34 A few selective variables can be configured via the set command. The syntax
35 is:
36
37 [verse]
38 ..............................................................................
39 *set* variables *=* value
40 ..............................................................................
41
42 Examples:
43
44 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
45 set show-rev-graph = yes # Show revision graph?
46 set line-number-interval = 5 # Interval between line numbers
47 set tab-size = 8 # Number of spaces pr tab
48 set encoding = "UTF-8" # Commit encoding
49 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
50
51 The type of variables are either bool, int, and string.
52
53 Valid bool values::
54
55 To set a bool variable to true use either "1", "true", or "yes".
56 Any other value will set the variable to false.
57
58 Valid int values::
59
60 A non-negative integer.
61
62 Valid string values::
63
64 A string of characters. Optionally, use either ' or " as delimiters.
65
66 Variables
67 ~~~~~~~~~
68
69 The following variables can be set:
70
71 'show-rev-graph' (bool)::
72
73 Show revision graph in the main view on start-up. Can be toggled with
74 'g'.
75
76 'line-number-interval' (int)::
77
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.
81
82 'tab-size' (int)::
83
84 Number of spaces per tab. The default is 8 spaces.
85
86 'commit-encoding' (string)::
87
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`.
90
91
92 Bind command
93 ------------
94
95 Using bind commands keys can be mapped to an action when pressed in a given
96 key map. The syntax is:
97
98 [verse]
99 ..............................................................................
100 *bind* 'keymap' 'key' 'action'
101 ..............................................................................
102
103 Examples:
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
113 # 'unbind' the default quit key binding
114 bind main Q none
115 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
116
117 Keys are mapped by first searching the keybindings for the current view, then
118 the keybindings for the *generic* keymap, and last the default keybindings.
119 Thus, the view keybindings shadow the generic keybindings which Shadow the
120 built-in keybindings.
121
122 --
123
124 Keymaps::
125
126 Valid keymaps are: *main*, *diff*, *log*, *help*, *pager*, *status*, *stage*,
127 and *generic*. Use *generic* to set key mapping in all keymaps.
128
129 Key values::
130
131 Key values should never be quoted. Use either the ASCII value or one of the
132 following 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
134 character.
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
140 Action names::
141
142 Valid action names are described below. Note, all names are
143 case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably,
144 e.g. "view-main", "View.Main", and "VIEW_MAIN" are the same.
