Configuration file

By Alexis Rios-Negron · Voltkit 0.13.1

Voltkit's settings are in ~/.config/voltkit/config.toml. Every key is optional: Voltkit works without the file, and missing keys use the defaults. Snippets you add in the app are saved here, and after editing by hand you can run voltkit daemon reload for the service to re-read it.

[hotkeys]
ocr = "<Super><Shift>t"
color_picker = "<Super><Shift>c"
snippets = "<Super><Shift>e"      # opens the snippet picker

ruler = "<Super><Shift>r"         # opens the screen ruler
smart_paste = "<Super><Shift>v"   # pastes the clipboard converted
zoom = "<Super><Shift>z"          # zooms into the screen and draws on it

[ocr]
lang = "eng"            # e.g. "eng+deu"; needs matching tesseract language packs

[compress]
quality = 80            # 1–100

[expander]
typed_triggers = false        # expand ;date etc. as you type; run `voltkit expander setup` first
paste_shortcut = "ctrl+v"     # or "ctrl+shift+v" / "shift+insert"

[zoom]
save_dir = "/home/you/Pictures/Screenshots"   # where Zoom & Annotate saves; empty means Pictures/Voltkit

[gpu]
