beer.toml(5)

# NAME

beer.toml - configuration file for _beer_(1)

# DESCRIPTION

*beer* reads a TOML configuration file from

_$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/beer/beer.toml_, falling back to

_~/.config/beer/beer.toml_. The *--config* flag (repeatable, later files

override earlier ones) and the *BEER_CONFIG* environment variable (colon-

separated paths, lowest priority) can supply additional files. A missing

file uses the built-in defaults; a malformed file is reported and the defaults

are used. Unknown keys are ignored, so a file written for a newer *beer* still

loads.

Colours are X11 specs: either _#rrggbb_ or _rgb:rr/gg/bb_ (1-4 hex digits per

channel).

# [main]

*font* = _string_

	Primary font family, resolved via fontconfig. Default _monospace_.

*font-size* = _integer_

	Font size in pixels. Default _16_.

*term* = _string_

	The _TERM_ value exported to the child shell. Default _beer_.

*initial-cols* = _integer_, *initial-rows* = _integer_

	Initial window size in character cells. Default _80_ by _24_.

*pad-x* = _integer_, *pad-y* = _integer_

	Inner padding in pixels between the window edge and the cell grid.

	Default _2_ each.

*word-delimiters* = _string_

	Characters that break a word for double-click selection. Unset keeps the

	built-in set (whitespace and common punctuation, keeping _.-/:~\__ inside

	words).

*idle-inhibit* = _bool_

	While the window is focused, ask the compositor not to blank the screen or

	start the screensaver (idle-inhibit-v1). A backgrounded window stops

	inhibiting. Default _false_.

# [colors]

*foreground* = _color_, *background* = _color_

	Default text and background colours. Default _#c5c8c6_ on _#181818_.

*cursor* = _color_

	Cursor colour. Unset follows the cell under the cursor.

*selection-foreground* = _color_, *selection-background* = _color_

	Selection colours. The background defaults to _#44475a_.

*regular* = _[8 colors]_, *bright* = _[8 colors]_

	The eight regular (indices 0-7) and bright (8-15) palette entries. Unset

	entries keep the xterm defaults.

*match-background* = _color_, *match-current-background* = _color_

	Highlight colours for search matches and the focused match.

*alpha* = _float_

	Background opacity, _0.0_ (transparent) to _1.0_ (opaque). Default _1.0_.

*bold-as-bright* = _bool_

	Render bold text with the bright palette variant. Default _true_.

# [cursor]

*style* = _string_

	Default cursor shape: _block_, _beam_ (or _bar_), or _underline_. An

	application may override this at runtime via DECSCUSR. Default _block_.

*blink* = _bool_

	Whether the cursor blinks by default. Default _false_.

# [scrollback]

*lines* = _integer_

	Lines of history retained for the main screen. Default _10000_.

# [bell]

*visual* = _bool_

	Briefly flash the screen on the terminal bell. Default _false_.

*command* = _[argv]_

	Command run on the bell, e.g. _["paplay", "/usr/share/sounds/bell.oga"]_.

	Unset runs nothing.

*urgent* = _bool_

	Request the compositor's attention (xdg-activation) when the bell rings

	while the window is unfocused. Default _false_.

# [mouse]

*scroll-multiplier* = _float_

	Multiplier applied to the lines scrolled per wheel notch. Default _1.0_.

*alternate-scroll* = _bool_

	On the alternate screen, translate the wheel into cursor-key presses so

	full-screen programs that did not request mouse reporting (such as _less_

	and _man_) still scroll. Default _true_.

# [key-bindings]

A table of _chord_ = _action_ entries, merged over the built-in defaults. A

chord is modifiers and a key joined by _+_, e.g. _"Ctrl+Shift+C"_. An action of

_"none"_ unbinds the chord.

Recognized actions: _copy_, _paste_, _paste-primary_, _scrollback-up_,

_scrollback-down_, _scrollback-top_, _scrollback-bottom_, _search_,

_font-increase_, _font-decrease_, _font-reset_, _fullscreen_, _new-window_,

_jump-prompt-up_, _jump-prompt-down_, _pipe-command-output_, _url-mode_,

_unicode-input_.

```

[key-bindings]

"Ctrl+Shift+C" = "copy"

"Ctrl+`" = "none"

```

# [mouse-bindings]

A table of _button-chord_ = _action_ entries, merged over the built-in

defaults. A chord is optional modifiers and a button joined by _+_, e.g.

_"Shift+Middle"_. Buttons are _Left_, _Middle_, and _Right_. The actions are

the same set as *[key-bindings]*. An action of _"none"_ unbinds the chord. The

left button's select/drag is a built-in gesture and is not rebindable.

The only default is _"Middle" = "paste-primary"_.

```

[mouse-bindings]

"Right" = "paste"

"Middle" = "none"

```

# [shell-integration]

Behaviour driven by *OSC 7* (cwd) and *OSC 133* (prompt) marks.

*pipe-command* = _[argv]_

	Command the _pipe-command-output_ binding feeds the last command's output

	to on stdin, e.g. _["less"]_. Empty (the default) disables the action.

# [url]

*launch* = _[argv]_

	Launcher the URL is appended to when an _OSC 8_ hyperlink is clicked or a

	hint-mode label is chosen. Default _["xdg-open"]_.

# [notify]

*command* = _[argv]_

	Notifier for desktop notifications (_OSC 9_/_777_/_99_); the title and body

	are appended as the final two arguments. Default _["notify-send"]_.

# [text-bindings]

A table of _chord_ = _text_ entries that send a literal string to the shell.

The text understands the escapes _\\e_, _\\n_, _\\r_, _\\t_, _\\\\_, and

_\\xNN_.

```

[text-bindings]

"Ctrl+Shift+Return" = "\\x1b\\r"

```
