Settings
Settings reference
Settings live in %APPDATA%\com.conduit.launcher\config.json, generated with defaults on first launch. Keybindings can also be changed from the manage view's Keybindings tab.
Most settings apply on save, but changes to hotkey (the global hotkey and double-tap key) require a restart.
hotkey — invocation keys
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| modifier | "Alt" |
Hotkey modifier. "Ctrl" / "Shift" / "Super", or combinations like "Ctrl+Shift" |
| key | "Space" |
Hotkey key ("N", "K", …) |
| double_tap | "Ctrl" |
Double-tap invocation key. "Ctrl" / "Alt" / "Shift" / "Win", or "" to disable |
| double_tap_interval_ms | 350 |
Maximum interval between the two taps (milliseconds) |
keybindings — in-app keys
Each action takes an array of chords, so multiple bindings work: "Ctrl+N", "Shift+Tab", "ArrowDown". A bare "Shift" means a tap — press and release with no other key in between.
| Action | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| move_up | ["ArrowUp", "Ctrl+P"] | Move selection up |
| move_down | ["ArrowDown", "Ctrl+N"] | Move selection down |
| execute | ["Enter"] | Run |
| action_panel | ["Shift", "Ctrl+K"] | Open the secondary-action panel |
| close | ["Escape"] | Hide the window / close the panel |
| toggle_pin | ["Ctrl+D"] | Pin / unpin the selection |
| manage_view | ["Ctrl+,"] | Toggle the manage view |
| tab_next | ["Tab", "ArrowRight", "Ctrl+Tab"] | Next tab |
| tab_prev | ["Shift+Tab", "ArrowLeft", "Ctrl+Shift+Tab"] | Previous tab |
theme — colors
All values are CSS color strings. The default is a dark theme with bg_primary / bg_secondary / bg_hover / bg_selected (backgrounds), text_primary / text_secondary / text_accent (text), plus border_color and border_radius (shape).
plugins — enable / disable
plugins.enabled maps plugin IDs to booleans. false removes a plugin from search.
