Configure

These pages show how to set Tilde up. Everything is in one file, config.toml, in the root folder of Tilde: ~/.config/tilde on Linux and macOS (under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME when it is set) and %APPDATA%\tilde on Windows. The scripts (scripts/), the themes (themes/), the mail cache (cache/) and the logs (logs/) are folders inside it, and --config <path> makes tcli and tt use another root folder or another config.toml. Tilde does not make the file for you. Run tcli check after every change: it reads the file, lists each mistake with its line, and connects to nothing. Every key of every section, including [keys], [ui] and [scripting], is in the Reference.
