The tables below follow the sections of the Settings editor (Ctrl+,). Put these keys in your User settings, or in .codevre/settings.json for one project. See Settings for how the layers work.
User only settings are hidden in the Workspace tab and always saved to User settings.
The Settings editor collects these at the top. Each is described in its own section below.
